Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple

The Sri Siva Subramaniya temple in Nadi, Fiji, is a Hindu temple. The Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, a tranquil Hindu temple and the largest Hindu temple in the southern hemisphere, is one of the few places outside of India where Dravidian architecture can be observed. Despite its ancient history, the vibrantly colored temple is continuously under construction. Famous artists such as ST Santosh have contributed to the temple's design over the years.

The ancient temple had been around for quite some time. In 1926, the Then India Sanmarga Ikya Sangam (TISI Sangam) was founded in the original temple edifice. Following the Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1976, the TISI Sangam was revitalized. Many of Nadi's festivals, such as Karthingai Puja, are held at the temple, which attracts worshipers from all over the world. Devotees went in droves to see and participate in the temple's numerous new and distinctive religious ceremonies, which were held for the first time.

Visitors are welcome but must be respectful at all times, dress modestly, and refrain from bringing shoes or cameras within the temple, as neither is permitted. Non-Hindus are asked to refrain from accessing the inner sanctum, even though people of all origins and religions are welcome inside the temple.
