Indianapolis Indiana Temple Pictures
Standing at the corner of West 116th Street and Spring Mill Road in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel, the Indianapolis Temple was the first temple built in the Hoosier State. Announced by President Thomas S. Monson on October 2, 2010, it was dedicated on August 23, 2015 by President Henry B. Eyring as the Church’s 148th operating temple. Its stately spire draws inspiration from Indianapolis’s own historic monuments, including the Indiana World War Memorial and the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument downtown. Our collection of Indianapolis Indiana Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this Hoosier State landmark.

About the Indianapolis Indiana Temple
The Church's history in Indiana stretches back further than many realize: by the mid-1840s, some 30 active Latter-day Saint branches existed across the state, but as the Saints migrated west to Utah in the following years, the Church's presence in Indiana faded almost entirely. It would take decades to rebuild, with the first Indiana meetinghouse constructed in 1927 and the Indianapolis Indiana Stake — the state's first — organized on May 17, 1959, by Elder Spencer W. Kimball. President Thomas S. Monson announced a temple for Indianapolis on October 2, 2010, and Elder Donald L. Hallstrom of the Presidency of the Seventy presided over the groundbreaking and site dedication on September 29, 2012, on an 18.11-acre property in the suburb of Carmel that also includes an adjoining meetinghouse.
The temple's stately single spire was designed to echo the historic memorials found throughout downtown Indianapolis, including the Indiana World War Memorial and the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. Inside the 34,000-square-foot building, decorative motifs celebrate local heritage, from carved blossoms of the tulip poplar — Indiana's state tree — to circular patterns referencing Indianapolis's nickname, "Circle City," all set against rich cherry wood sourced from the eastern United States. A public open house held July 17 through August 8, 2015, drew approximately 90,000 visitors, followed by a youth cultural celebration the evening before the dedication. President Henry B. Eyring dedicated the Indianapolis Temple on August 23, 2015, accompanied by Elder M. Russell Ballard, Elder Donald L. Hallstrom, and Elder Kent F. Richards, bringing a house of the Lord to more than 30,000 members across nine Indiana stakes.
