REUNION, September 7, 2009: The Hindu temple of Colosse near St. Andre on Reunion Island has celebrated its kumbhabhishekam. A thousand worshippers attended the three-day consecration organized by the Pandialee Association. Many dignitaries were present for the big day, including the Consul of India (RS Badwal), the mayor of Saint-Andre (Eric Fruteau), the president of the Federation of Temples (Daniel Minienpoulle), and the president of Gopio ( Paul Canaguy). The Association praised the four Indian workers who worked on the decoration for two years, and gave thanks to the priests Adrien Ponapin, “Nono” Ponama and Andre Latchaya, to the devotees, and to RFO for its coverage of the festivities (TV and Radio). A book about the temple titled “Koloss,” newly published by Ocean Editions, was released at the event.
