I like the Balaji temple situated in Milwaukee. Its a very nice place and we visited in the month of January and it was full of snow and the dazzling moon on the full night in the abode of snow, really mesmerising. Felt like I'm in Heaven and I love this temple a lot.
The building architecture and the decorations made to G*d and the Prasatha they provide for all deities and the climatic conditions - Everything was very good.
