Well it’s taken 14 years to build and has cost around £16million to construct, not bad considering how aesthetically pleasing the architecture is to the eye, we can admire the design, if nothing else.
The message being promoted here by Hindus is of "Vasudev Kutumbakaum", a term used to describe the world as "one big family". A noble cause... but then they go and include a statue inside of Mother Teresa?
DOH
What bothers me is I don't know where this 16 million was amassed from though, as its most likely the taxpayer who has to foot the bill as usual, this brings back memories of when Krishna Avanti primary school opened its doors back in January, only for Hindu school governors to demand more single-faith secondary schools with temples included throughout London and Leicester.
What are your opinions on elaborately designed temples such as these? I've seen some over-the-top Buddhist eastern dragon temples in Thailand before...
