Choghadiya Today in Brisbane
Today’s choghadiya for Brisbane, Queensland, worked out from Brisbane’s own sunrise and sunset in Brisbane time (AEST) (Australia/Brisbane). Hindu life in Greater Brisbane is strongest on the southside and out to Springfield Lakes and Pallara, with temples from Burbank, Kingston and Darra to South and North Maclean, and the Gayatri Mandir in Boondall and a Shiva mandir in Newstead to the north. Brisbane’s clock runs 4 hours 30 minutes ahead of India’s, so some festivals fall a day later here than in India.

Why a date can differ: a tithi (lunar day) begins at the same instant everywhere on earth, but a festival is kept on the local day when its tithi holds at the right moment, such as sunrise or moonrise. Brisbane keeps a different clock from India, so that moment can land on a different calendar day here. For festivals not listed, see the festival calendar.

Hindu temples in and around Brisbane
Mandirs across the Brisbane area, from the city to the suburbs. Check each temple’s website for darshan hours and its festival programme.
Sri Selva Vinayakar Koyil (Ganesha Temple)
The Queensland Atlas of Religion says the current temple, designed and built by a specialist temple architect recruited from Tamil Nadu, was consecrated on 1 May 2015, replacing a more modest building used on the same site from 1995.
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Brisbane
BAPS describes it as the first BAPS mandir in Queensland: its Mandir Mahotsav began on 14 February 2014 with the murtis carried in a boat procession on the Brisbane River, and the murti-pratishtha was performed on 15 February 2014.
Shree Laxminarayan Mandir
Run by the Hindu Mandir Association of Queensland, whose roots go back to the Society for the Promotion of Hindu Culture formed in Brisbane in 1979; the temple was built in 1998 and has operated since its deities were installed in April 2004.
ISKCON Brisbane (Hare Krishna Temple)
ISKCON Brisbane opened this temple, a heritage-listed former Methodist church built in 1924, on 28 February 2026 during its 50th Gaura Purnima celebration for Sri Sri Gaura Nitai, and mounted a nearly 200 kg ashta-dhatu Sudarshana Chakra on top on 13 June 2026.
Gayatri Mandir (Hindu Society of Queensland)
The Hindu Society of Queensland, which runs the mandir, says it was founded in 1992 by former residents of the Fiji Islands and bought the Boondall property that year; since 2023 it has been working on a project to build a permanent temple and cultural centre at Bracken Ridge.
Shree Vishnu Maya Mandir
The temple says it was founded in 2012 by Guru Pundit Tripati Ji and Guruma Asha Tripati Ji on 11 acres in Logan City, and that the new temple was built and a grand pooja ceremony held on 26 January 2017.
Om Shree Deveshwar Mahadev Shiva Mandir
Set in the garden of the Yoga in Daily Life Sri Devpuriji Ashram, the temple was inaugurated on Shivaratri in 2015; its Shiva linga and Nandi are hand carved from black granite.
Hare Krishna Temple Burbank
It describes itself as an entirely not-for-profit, volunteer-run bhakti-yoga centre and holds a Saturday Love Feast every week.

- Why does the time gap between Brisbane and Sydney change during the year?

Between those dates Brisbane is one hour behind Sydney, so choghadiya and festival times published for Sydney cannot be used unchanged in Brisbane.
- Where is ISKCON Brisbane’s temple now that it has left Graceville?
- At 8 Lee Road, Darra. ISKCON Brisbane opened this temple, a heritage-listed former Methodist church built in 1924, on 28 February 2026; the community began in Milton in 1972 and was based at its Graceville temple from 1983 to 2011.
