The temple was established by a group of Hindus residing in New Jersey In 1989 and the HTCS procured land in Bridgewater, NJ to construct a temple with traditional stone. After that, the members of the society and other Hindu devotees started worshiping and other spiritual activities in 1995 while the temple was under construction.
The traditional stone-laying ceremony was done by Cheena Jeeyar Swami in 1998 and a congregation ceremony was held when this divine 11000 feet balaji mandir nj, was inaugurated.
