UAE Allots Land For First Temple in Abu Dhabi

On the occasion of PM Narendra Modi‘s visit temple in Abu Dhabi, a long wait for the Indian community in UAE ended as the government there announced its decision to allot land for building a temple in Abu Dhabi.

PM Narendra Modi thanked the UAE leadership for this landmark decision and “A long wait for the Indian community ends and On the occasion of PM’s visit to, UAE Government decides to allot land for building a temple in Abu Dhabi.

While there are two temples in Dubai, one of Lord Shiva and another of Krishna, there is none in Abu Dhabi.

The UAE is home to 2.6 million Indian workers, of who around 20% are white-collar professionals, and Indian expatriates comprise 30% of the UAE’s population and are the largest nationality group.

I am very thankful to the UAE Government for their decision to allot land in order to build a Temple in Abu Dhabi and it is a great step.
