carvings on pillars, statues, and columns for this very first hand-sculpted Hindu temple, over
the last four years. The temple cultivates a sense of tranquillity and spirituality amongst its
guests, by offering a peaceful setting for prayer and meditation. By funding such projects that
support various social and cultural causes, Sobha Realty aims to solidify its reputation as a
