Omkarananda-Shanta-Durga Mandir is the original temple and building of the Ashram built in 1967 in Muni-ki-reti. It is the headquarter of all activities of Swamiji in India. Pujas are performed both the times in the temple. Daily Hawanas and Abhishekas are conducted. Some times visiting priests (like the famous priests of Tirupati and Kanchikamakoti Pitha) are conducting special Homas, Abhishekas and prayers for special purposes like world peace or during festivals like Shivaratri, Dipavali, Krishna Janmashtami, Navaratri, etc.

Omkarananda-Kamakshi-Devi Mandir, is an exquisitely designed South Indian Temple, which is located on a sacrosanct land inside the Omkarananda Ashram complex at the foothills of the Himalayas, where Gurudev had done his intensive Tapasya and Shrividya-Sadhana in the earlier years. By the grace and blessing of Gurudev Paramahamsa Omkarananda Saraswati, and under the able guidance of Shri Kamakoti Shastriji, Chief Priest of Kamakshi Mandir, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu, this temple was meticulously planned and executed according to South Indian tradition and Vastu Shastra by the renowned Sthapati Shri S. Ravichandran of Kancheepuram with the help and labour of South Indian masons and artisans.

Omkarananda Gayatri Sadan is situated at the holy spring of Sheshdhara, directly on the bank of the holy river Ganga, between Lakshmanjhula and Muni-ki-Reti.
