Ballarat Hindu Temple & Cultural Centre

Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (16:04): The Allan Labor government is proud to support the Ballarat Hindu Temple & Cultural Centre and has provided $900,000 for the development of a community centre and place of worship in Ross Creek. On Sunday I was honoured to attend the Bhoomi Pooja, an auspicious Hindu ceremony to mark the official commencement of the project, blessed by Lord Ganesha. I was honoured to be present for the Sankusthapana. The ritual marks an important milestone for our Indian community and their desire for a Hindu temple in our community.
