The revered 60-year-old Hindu temple in Bur Dubai is set to move its spiritual services to a new location in Jebel Ali, effective from Wednesday, January 3, 2024. Devotees were notified of the relocation through notices placed at all entrances of the Shiva temple, emphasizing the shift to the new Hindu Temple in Jebel Ali.
Built in the late 1950s, the Bur Dubai temple has been a significant place of worship for the Hindu community in the UAE for several decades. While specific details about the relocation were not immediately available, committee members assured that further information would be provided as soon as they receive it.
Punit Mehta, a long-time visitor to the temple, expressed nostalgia for the Bur Dubai location, which has been a part of his life for over two decades. Another devotee, Narendre, shared a sense of sadness at the news, reflecting on the connections and memories formed within the temple’s walls.
