Today
Building our temple
Land has been acquired in East London. We are obtaining council permission, aiming to complete a two-floor temple with a basement — one of only a few Bengali temples in the UK.
This is a humble request to all the devotees. Hindu Cultural Association is seeking donations for the ongoing Temple construction activities.
We have promises from the devotees to meet those expenses to some extent but still there is deficiency of the funds to complete the holy task. In this context, we are requesting all the devotee communities to donate liberally to fulfill the final auspicious event.
Funds required
£280,000 – £300,000
