WYEBANK, SOUTH AFRICA, February 5, 2014 (Highway Mail): After months of construction, the Wyebank Hindu Temple is finally at a stage where devotees can worship again, starting February 5th. According to Venessa Pillay, a committee member at the temple, the Wyebank Hindu Temple was small, and as the congregation grew the committee decided to renovate it to leave a landmark and place of worship for the future generation.
The Wyebank Hindu Temple was established in 1932. Over the years, numerous changes were made to enhance the general appearance, as well as install murthis to cater for the spiritual needs of all those devotees that attend the Shri Vilvanatha Esperar Alayam. Instead of demolishing parts of the temple structure and adding bit and pieces, it was decided to upgrade the entire structure. The mammoth project of rebuilding the Wyebank Hindu Temple commenced and earnest and skilled artisans from South India were engaged to commence with the rebuilding of the temple.
Guru Shiyamsunthar Sharma and committee members thanked the community, individuals, organisations and families who have contributed in cash and kind to the rebuilding of the temple.
