Description
Hdr photo of this Hindu Temple located in Waterloo,Trinidad. An Indian labourer, Seedas Sadhu, had constructed the first temple on the seashore in 1947. It was demolished because it had been built on private property belonging to Tate and Lyle Limited, one of the leading sugar companies. Sadhu was sent to prison. He subsequently decided to build the temple in the sea. It took him 25 years to build single handed with only his bicycle to transport materials. This temple is on a man-made island and is connected to the mainland by a pedestrian causeway.
