A powerful message of tolerance, peace and harmony, bringing together people from different faiths, marked the official opening ceremony, Khaleej Times reported.
Priests chant “Om shanti shanti Om” in a peaceful greeting and musicians playing tabla and dhol – Indian drums – greet people as they enter.
The ‘Worship Village’ in Jebel Ali currently has 9 religious temples, including 7 churches, Guru Nanak Darbar Sikh Gurudwara and a new Hindu house of worship.
Plans to build a 70,000-square-foot house of worship were announced in 2020, shortly after the Covid-19 pandemic hit the city.
The temple features detailed hand-carved works, ornate pillars, bronze spiers and striking grates that blend Indian and Arabic architecture.
