UAE To Open Its First Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is opening its first ever Hindu temple and it will officially has its doors open by the time the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the UAE in February.
The commencement ceremony will be live-streamed to the public during a reception in Dubai, but the official ceremony will be held at the temple in Abu Dhabi, which the UAE government allotted 25,000 square feet for. 2,000 prominent Indians will be invited to the reception as the Consul General of India in Dubai said.
“We are proud that the PM is coming for the second time to the UAE in a short span of time. This will be a very nice community event with the most prominent Indians from all walks of life including business people, professionals, community service people, and others will be attending,” he said.
The UAE has been highly praised for its encouragement of tolerance and coexistence. The new Hindu temple will certainly be a communal gathering point for Abu Dhabi’s substantial Hindu population.
