A distant memory are the meetings in private homes that had a sacred book and where even weddings were held. Much has changed for the Hindu community over the years. The construction of the temple was a watershed event. Before its construction the local government&#8217;s councilor for development, Nicolas Fernandez Cucurull, offered a site on Echegaray street at a symbolic price of one euro and for a period of 50 years through a concession. Economic contributions of the Hindu devotees and the City allowed the place to take shape. Today it is the meeting point, for prayers of the community but it is also a place for visitors from other religions that come to meet the Hindus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The evolution has been very positive. We are fully integrated and our customs and festivities are known by all the citizens of Ceuta, who also participate actively,&#8221; says the president of the community, Ramesh Chandiramani, who assures that &#8220;if it were not for our elderly who still wear typical Hindu clothing, we would go unnoticed in the day to day life in the city.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source SPAIN, May 7, 2017 (Ceuta Actualidad, translated from Spanish): The Hindu temple celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
