LONDON: A temple serving 18,000 Hindus in Peterborough and surrounding counties has been thrown a lifeline by a high court judge who has issued a temporary injunction preventing the sale of the building it is in to a mosque.
The Bharat Hindu Samaj Temple (BHS) was established in the New England Complex in Peterborough in 1986 by Ugandan Hindu refugees. Apart from being a place of worship, it offers luncheon clubs for the elderly, runs a dementia centre, yoga classes, and Indian language classes.
