A Hindu temple at 254 Balmoral Road in Sandringham, Auckland. The website says it is the first purpose-built Hindu temple in New Zealand, begun as a dream in 1986 and completed in June 1993. Visitors can see the deities, including Radha-Krishna and Durga Maa, and the building is also used as a community hall.
The temple holds many events each year, along with daily and weekly activities. It offers individual rituals, katha and weddings, and a volunteer-run library in the basement with books in Hindi, English and Gujarati. Activities for children, women, languages, maths and computers are run by volunteers. Visitors describe it as peaceful and clean, with striking architecture, and say children enjoyed the calm setting.
