The ONLY temple housing 1,008 consecrated Shiva Lingams in the entire Western Hemisphere -- is days away from being lost.

This sacred 27.3-acre riverside site in Deroche/Hope, British Columbia, is home to an irreplaceable collection of sacred artifacts, including an 8-foot black granite Shivling imported directly from India. Founded through a divine vision , a devoted follower of Lord Shiva from a South Indian Gounder family with over 150 years of diaspora heritage, this temple represents something that cannot be rebuilt, relocated, or replaced.

WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW:

The entire 27.3-acre sacred property is under immediate threat of seizure. 1,008 consecrated Shiva Lingams and the monumental granite Shivling will be destroyed or displaced -- an irreversible cultural catastrophe.

FRASER HEALTH AUTHORITY COMPLIANCE ORDERS -- Regulatory orders require immediate structural and environmental remediation, including water systems, septic upgrades, and building code compliance. Failure to meet strict deadlines risks forced closure and condemnation.

A HERITAGE THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED -- This is not just a building. This is a living pilgrimage destination, a spiritual sanctuary, and a cultural treasure serving Hindu communities across North America. There is no other site like it in this hemisphere.

WHAT YOUR DONATION WILL DO:

- Fund emergency legal representation

- Complete Fraser Health compliance and remediation

- Cover structural and environmental assessments

- Ensure the temple can continue serving as a sacred pilgrimage site

Every dollar brings us closer to saving this irreplaceable heritage.

The founder invested over $1 million of personal funds to create this sacred space. Now, the community must come together to protect it.

This temple was born from a sacred dream. Don't let it die.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Please donate now and share this campaign widely.
