The Temple is located on Cipriano Road one mile away from the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. There are two temples located on the same road. The Murugan Temple of North America is located in the vicinity.

The main deities represented in the temple include ShivaasRamanathaswamy (the deity of the Rameswaram Temple) and Vishnu as Ananthapadmanabha (the deity of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple). Along with them, there are shrines for Parvathi, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Durga, Rama, Krishna, Ganapathi, Subrahmanya, Andal, Hanuman and Navagrahas.[1][2] Ayyappa has a separate shrine in the model of the famous Sabarimala temple, with 18 steps.
