Year 5 Trip to the Balaji Temple
Wednesday, 14 June 2017
Year 5 enjoyed a t trip to the Balaji Temple where we learnt more about Hinduism. The children were extremely enthusiastic and asked interesting questions throughout the morning.
Shri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple in Tividale is the culmination of deeply felt spiritual aspirations and one of the most remarkable achievements of the Hindu communities in the United Kingdom. The temple is set in a approximately 30 acres of land, with a number of different shrines and other facilities and it has grown over a 10 year period to become the largest Hindu temple of its kind in Europe. Much more than simply a physical complex, it brings together a remarkably wide cross-section of Hindus into a vibrant, thriving organization, and is now recognised as one of the leading Hindu institutions in this country.
