Hindu Mandir; Waterloo, Trinidad

Abstract

Seedas Sadhu built the original Waterloo temple in 1947 quickly met its demise at the hands of the government. Undeterred and more determined, Seedas Sadhu began work on a second temple, this time, in the sea which freed him from having to get permission for anyone including the Government. With just a bicycle and a leather bag, Sadhu transported stones to the shore to build a small island for the base of the new Waterloo Temple. Once the base was finished, cement was used for the main structure - a single story, octagon shaped Temple.
