Hindu temple in the Poconos with painted steps
February 4, 2016 11:51 AM Subscribe
Around 1986, my family visited a Hindu temple or similar religious facility in the Poconos area of Pennsylvania. I remember that the path from the parking lot up the hill to the building was a stairway of huge stone steps, each of which was painted with a different design. Does this temple still exist? Where is it? Online photos of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, the Jain temple Siddhachalam, and Sringeri Sadhana Center don't look like what I remember.
I asked my mom, and this is the only thing she could think of. It's not quite the Poconos, but it's close. Unfortunately, I couldn't pull up any pictures. http://m.yelp.com/biz/sringeri-vidya-bharati-foundation-stroudsburg

Response by poster: I talked with my mom recently and she thinks it might have been near Pittsburgh...

Mod note: Final update from the OP:
Turns out the temple is the Sri Venkateswara temple near Pittsburgh, and the painted steps aren't there anymore after some remodelling.posted by taz (staff) at 12:05 AM on July 20, 2021
