Temples of the Diaspora
A diaspora announces its permanence in stone — the great temples the Indian world built abroad, and what they mean.
Anchored at the Culture desk.
About this series
The temples a diaspora raises on foreign soil are statements: that it is here to stay, and confident enough to build something monumental. This series visits the great ones, from hand-carved stone mandirs to ancient pilgrimage caves.
Each part profiles one temple — its building, its community, and its place in the story of Indians abroad — controversies included.
