NORTHAMPTON, U.K., November 10, 2010: Plans for a US$19 million Hindu temple and community center in Northampton have been approved. The complex will include leisure facilities and a center to promote Anglo-Indian business and will use solar and geo-thermal pump technology. It will be called the Kutumbh Center and is being built by the Indian Hindu Welfare Organisation (IHWO).

The organisation’s chairwoman Mrs Neelam Aggarwal said: “Receiving planning approval is the realization of a 40-year-old ambition for the Hindu community in Northampton, which has long wanted such a center for the people of Northampton.”
