[MALU, 30.05.2008] The author compares the Hindu Mandir with "the great pyramid of Giza" and calls it "spectacular", an "unequivocal showpiece" and "a triumph of the human spirit". She states that "the finest materials" have been used and that "master craftsmen" worked on it, then proclaims that it is "a labour of love and a work of art".

When the building was finished in 1995 it "caused a sensation" and since opening it has attracted "more than five million visitors". The adjoining community centre is "functional", yet "not without beauty" as it features "abundant carvings".
