Bradford Lakshmi Narayan Hindu Temple

The "Lakshmi Narayan Hindu Temple" in Bradford opened in April 2008, becoming the largest Hindu temple (mandir) in Northern England [ [http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/search/display.var.760410.0.3m_hindu_temple_soon_to_take_shape.php "£3m Hindu temple soon to take shape"] Bradford Telegraph and Argus feature.] . The temple was designed by local architects and built by a local construction company. The temple is faced with Yorkshire stone, and the design modern, reflecting the position of Hindus as part of contemporary Yorkshire society [ [http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/community/communityasian/asianfeatures/display.var.794191.0.faith_creates_3m_temple_for_hindu_community.php "Faith creates a £3m Temple"] Bradford Telegraph and Argus feature.] . The temple is unusual in having most of the major deities revered by the Hindu community in addition to Lakshmi Narayan, the main deities. [Prabhu Prana Pratistha, A book given to congregation at dedication ceremony of temple.] . This reflects the needs of the Hindu population in the UK, where temples have to serve all types of Hindus rather than just followers of a specific deity.
