Abu Dhabi’s First Hindu Temple Gathers Hundreds!
The site of Abu Dhabi’s first traditional Hindu temple opened its doors to hundreds of people. In return, they’ve gathered together to offer prayers for the construction of the temple.
More than 500 people united in prayer for the construction of the temple
To lead this prayer, Priests chanted Sanskrit verses during an hour-long prayer on Friday, 27 May, to mark the start of building work on the first-floor level. The materials of the bricks used in the construction of the temple are granite and pink sandstone from India’s western Rajasthan.
Community leaders, worshippers and officials offered flowers to the construction of the temple during the ceremony
The doors of the site are open to residents of all faiths every Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. They will partake in prayers and a bricklaying ceremony at the temple’s construction site in Abu Mureikha district, Abu Dhabi.
The temple complex covers 55,000 square metres. It will include an amphitheatre, exhibition hall, majlis, community centre, library and play areas for the little ones.
