Weather on Kauai

Kauai is home to Mount Waialeale, the wettest spot on earth. The islands hosts many sunny and rainy locations. To find out the weather during your visit to Kauai, click here.

Directions to Kauai's Hindu Monastery

The monastery address is 107 Kaholalele RD Kapaa, Hawaii, 96746. To get to the monastery, driving north from the LIHUE airport (LIH) on Kuhio Highway toward Kapaa town, watch for the lights just after the bridge over the Wailua River. Before the lights, get in the left lane; turn left, inland, at the lights onto Kuamo'o Road (between Coco Palms Hotel and the Wailua River). Continue up the hill, for just over 4 miles. One-quarter mile past the 4-mile marker, turn left on Kaholalele Road and go one block to the end of the road. Our Information Center is at 107. Park on Temple Lane and enter the open pavilion. You can find our phone number in the island phone book, under "Churches/Hindu, Saiva Siddhanta Church. Travel Tip: Sit on the left side of the plane next to a window to get a clear view of Kauai.

Weddings

As we are a cloistered monastery for monastics, we do not participate in or have weddings on the property. However, many couples do come here for blessings in Kadavul Hindu Temple after they are married elsewhere. In the State of Hawaii there are no priests specializing in Hindu weddings. A number of couples have brought a priest of their tradition who conducts the wedding ceremony at another location on the island.

Priests Who Can Do Weddings

These priests are willing to come to Hawaii (you sponsor their travel) to perform wedding.

These Indian wedding coordinators may help with your event if you wish to have a Hindu wedding:
