[ The New Indian ] Moscow to welcome Its first Hindu temple

The article titled “Moscow to welcome Its first Hindu temple” discusses the significant cultural development of the first Hindu temple being built in Moscow.

A formal request has been submitted to the President of the Russian Federation, V.V. Putin, by the Indian National Cultural Center “SITA” for permission to build the temple. The temple will be privately funded and is expected to serve as a religious, spiritual, and cultural hub for the Indian diaspora in Russia.

The project is seen as a powerful symbol of the mutual integration of Russian and Indian cultures, aligning with the broader development goals of BRICS+. Hinduism, while a minority religion in Russia, has a small yet vibrant community.

The presence of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) temples in cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg has already established a foundation for Hindu worship and cultural exchange. The new temple in Moscow will not only cater to the spiritual needs of the Hindu community but also serve as a venue for cultural events, festivals, and educational programs.

This project holds significant diplomatic and cultural implications, particularly as it comes ahead of the BRICS+ summit scheduled to be held in Kazan in October. The approval and subsequent construction of the Hindu temple in Moscow will stand as a testament to Russia’s commitment to cultural diversity and international cooperation.
