While some of the temples have been constructed from ground up, others have been converted from former church buildings. Unlike in India, Hindu temples do not have just one God in it. e.g., Rajdhani Temple in Washington DC area (Chantilly, VA), has idols of Shiv-Parvati, Ganesh, Radha-Krishna, Laxmi-Vishnu, Ram-Laxman-Sita-Hanuman, Balaji, Saraswati, Murgan, Saibaba, several others as well Jain Gods such as Mahavir, Parshavanath and even Buddha idol. This inclusive approach works out good as people don't have to build too many small temples for each God and people can visit any temple in USA and pretty much be assured that their favorite God will be present there.
