Brussels: The biggest
Hindu temple complex in Europe - consisting of three temples,
residential areas and tourist spots - is going to be built in the
Dutch city of The Hague.
Three Hindu groups would be building three temples on a site
behind the Hollands Spoor railway station, EuAsiaNews reported
citing the Netherlands' Trouw newspaper.
The complex will include 45 apartments and is set to open in 2014.
There would be rooms for yoga and meditation and tourist spots for
foreign guests.
The residential towers are also open to non-Hindus.
The Hague council member Rajesh Ramnewash has designed the plan.
Some one percent of people living in the Netherlands are Hindus.
The Hindu community also accounts for the largest immigrant group
in the Hague, according to Trouw.
