Poland to get a Hindu temple
31 May 2010: A temple is being constructed in suburban Warsaw, capital of Poland.
The Polish ministry of internal affairs and administration (MSWiA) recently registered the proposed temple site as a holy shrine and cleared the decks for construction work to begin. The Indian Association of Poland (IAP), a community outfit behind the project, requested the MSWiA to register the shrine. IAP hopes to open the temple in August and call it the Hindu Bhavan.
Built on a 3,300 sq mtrs, which housed an industrial unit, the temple will have idols of nine Hindu deities. The idols will be imported from Jaipur. Marble and patterns for interiors will also be imported from India to depict Hindu iconography.
Funds for the plot and the project came via donations from community members. Apart from religious festivities, IAP also plans to hold social and community functions in the premises. A special hall is being constructed for the purpose.
