The temple will be built within one year,&#8221; said BR Shetty, the businessman who heads the temple coordination committee, on Monday night. &#8220;Al Wathba is just 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi City. It will be close to the highway on Abu Dhabi-Al Ain road,&#8221; Shetty, chief executive officer of NMC Healthcare and UAE Exchange, told Khaleej Times.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the temple, the murthis will be of &#8220;Deities Krishna, Maheshwara, Ayyappa and more.&#8221; &#8220;The temple will have a good vrindavan (garden) and a waterfront,&#8221; Shetty added. It was during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi&#8217;s visit in August last year that the UAE Government announced its decision to allocate land for Abu Dhabi&#8217;s first ever Hindu temple.
