HINDU MANDIR: A HISTORICAL MONUMENT IN ABU DHABI

In the heart of the Middle East, this one-of-a-kind temple complex unites cultures, as the first official temple in the Middle East. The complex provides the Hindu Community with communal spaces and courtyards, an amphitheater, in addition to monk’s accommodations.

The temple itself was crafted by 3,000 skilled masons in India. When designing the complex, we wanted to enhance the temples distinct beauty.

ARCHITECTURAL OASIS: A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

The design blends seamlessly with the desert surroundings, echoing the sacred essence of Hinduism. 

 

The project represents global harmony and cultural exchange. The entire complex was designed to create a space where people from all around the world can come together to learn and celebrate their religion.
