By the early 1980s, there were over 300 families with Indian ancestral ties in Charlotte.

When construction was originally completed in 1982, the Hindu Center of Charlotte had 2.4-acres of land. Currently, it sits on 9.3-acres of land and plans on expanding.
Specific expansion plans are focused on the worship area. With the expansion plans, the gods will be moved from the back of the room to the center of the room. This move will enable members to stand in a circle around the gods instead of face them as if they’re in the audience.
