Another person wrote, “Indeed the temple is beautiful. We are convinced of the Indian ethics, culture and religion and it’s global impact on other communities and countries..”
The temple, named the ‘Hindu Temple Dubai’, encourages people to book their visiting time through its website. It is open to the public from 6 am to 8.30 pm.
In his keynote speech during the opening of the temple, temple trustee Raju Shroff said, “Everything about this Temple and the Worship Village tells a story about collaboration and peaceful coexistence. Our children will be the first generation to experience a variety of religious houses in one district. They can walk from the Gurudwara to the Churches to the Temples as well as the Mosques and absorb the lessons, blessings & vibrations of each one.”
