Dallas, Texas, USA: Four unidentified men wearing masks were recently spotted walking toward the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Frisco while holding placards with messages such as “Don’t make Texas like India.” The individuals reportedly stood silently on the public sidewalk adjacent to the temple premises, displaying their signs.
Following the incident, the temple’s management shared a composed statement on social media, confirming that both the Frisco Police Department (Frisco PD) and temple authorities were aware of the occurrence.
“Frisco PD and Temple management are aware of today’s situation involving masked men holding signs on the public sidewalk. They were within their legal rights, and Frisco PD advised not to engage,” the statement read.
The temple also extended gratitude toward two local women who stood opposite the group, displaying a sign of solidarity with the Hindu community.
“It was truly heartwarming to see two women stand across from them with a sign of support for the community,” the temple’s message added.
Located on Independence Parkway in Frisco, the Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple is among the largest Hindu temples in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area, serving as both a cultural and spiritual centre for thousands of devotees across North Texas.
