PM Modi launches foundation stone ceremony for first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi, Feb 11: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today officially launched the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the first Hindu temple in the capital of the UAE, home to over three million people of Indian origin.

Modi witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony which was live-streamed to the Dubai Opera House where the prime minister was interacting with the Indian community.

He thanked Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on behalf of 125 crore Indians for the construction of the grand temple.

"I believe this temple will not be only unique in terms of architecture and splendour, but will also give a message of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' to people across the world," he said.

Temple Committee members had presented the temple literature to Modi and Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan last evening in Abu Dhabi.

This is the first stone temple to be built in Abu Dhabi off Dubai-Abu Dhabi highway.

Modi is visiting the United Arab Emirates for the second time after his 2015 trip to the country.

The first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi will come up on 55,000 square metres of land.

The temple will be hand-carved by Indian temple artisans and assembled in the UAE. It will be completed by 2020, and open to people of all religious backgrounds.

It will be the first traditional Hindu stone temple in the Middle East, said a spokesperson from the BAPS.

Bochasanwasi Shri Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), is a socio-spiritual Hindu organisation set up in 1907 that runs more than 1,100 temples and cultural compounds around the world.

The temple will incorporate all aspects and features of a traditional Hindu temple as part of a fully functional, social, cultural and spiritual complex.

It will replicate the BAPS temple in New Delhi and the one under construction in New Jersey.

Mr Modi launches foundation stones ceremony for BUILT JHANAMMA in UAE

Astaghfirullah ..please dua ..May Allah Give hidayth to ABHUDHABI sheikh and Save from THese shaitan agents ...

Foundation from a mass murderer !!!!

Whoever approves whatever... please dont fall trap to other than NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI-there is no image of God. If People understand this and learn about GOD, You wil not need leaders who will build or not build the temples... cos temples go against the NA TASYA PrATIMA ASTI... Worship the CREATOR not his CREATION... the statues which will be placed in the temple will not harm YOU nor benefit YOU... READ about the oneness of GOD rather than running behind the politician without true knowledge and understanding of who God is? Politicians will not come and save us when the angel of death comes to take our soul, which was given by the almight God who has no image. ASK the one who put soul in us to guide to TRUTH. May the one who put soul in us help us to recognize the reality behind the temples and idols.

Modi j going to build hindu temple in Arab country and encourage demolish of BABRI MASJID in India

In India Narendra Mody government is demolishing Muslim's prayer places and Mosques, whereas Islamic country Abu Dhabi is constructing Hindu temple as requested by Narendra Mody, which is a matter of imagination. Recently in Allahabad too Yogi government has demolished a Mosque and beaten up Muslims badly, which is not shown in any television except ND TV.

Thundershowers and gusty winds likely in parts of DK, Udupi, UK

News Network

July 1,2020

Bengaluru, Jul 1: The Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert and forecasted heavy rains for three coastal districts and 12 more in the south interior Karnataka region, an official said on Tuesday afternoon.

"Thunderstorm with lightning is likely to occur at isolated places over south interior Karnataka from Tuesday to Wednesday," said a Met official.

For Bengaluru city, the Met department has forecast a generally cloudy sky with light rain for the next three days.

Coastal Karnataka -- Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada districts have been issued a yellow alert for the next two days with thundershowers and gusty winds.

Winds blowing at speed of 40-50 km per hour are expected on the coast and the Met department warned fishermen against venturing into the sea.

Meanwhile, heavy showers on Sunday night in Vijayapura district gave rise to flash floods in the Doni river and Sogali stream.

An overflowing Doni river submerged the Talikote - Hadaginal bridge, a remnant from the colonial era, and also submerged some agricultural lands. Only recently, these agricultural lands were sown with toor dal plants.

Similarly, many SSLC students also struggled to cross the bridge to reach their examination centres on Monday.

Many houses were also flooded due to the rainfall at Nalatwad and Talikote taluk. Muddebihal, Basavana Bagewadi and Sindagi taluks also witnessed heavy rainfall.

A 40-year-old farmer from Dharwad district was washed away in the Tuppari Halla stream, which is prone to flood during the monsoon season.

Likewise, a truck carrying cotton also got washed away in a stream in Yadgir district.

"There is an offshore trough and a circulation, because of which rain will continue in the coastal area. Only Malnad has not got sufficient rain this year. Probably after two days, Malnad may get some rains," Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) Director Srinivas Reddy said. Otherwise, entire state got normal rainfall, said Reddy, though it is not active over Malnad.
