PNC Menon, Founder and Chairman of Sobha Realty, a leading luxury real estate developer

in the UAE, contributed AED 5 million to the BAPS Hindu Mandir, the first hand-carved
temple being built in Abu Dhabi, to enhance its facilities and services offered to devotees.

This reflects Sobha Realty’s unwavering commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility

(CSR), which focuses on fostering an inclusive, prosperous, and harmonious society. It also
emphasises the developer’s dedication to promoting cultural diversity, peace, tolerance, and

religious harmony in the UAE.

PNC Menon, Founder and Chairman of Sobha Realty commented: “It is a great honour

and privilege to contribute to the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi and support this social
and cultural cause. This is consistent with our values and dedication to having a lasting positive

impact on society. The donation reiterates our commitment to contributing to society and
assisting the diverse cultural communities in the UAE, all of which play a key role in

consolidating the nation's reputation for fostering an inclusive, tolerant, and diverse society.”

With captivating design and architecture and remarkable craftsmanship, the BAPS Hindu

Mandir in Abu Dhabi is a cultural asset that serves as an embodiment of harmony and tolerance.

Over 2000 artisans in the state of Rajasthan in India have meticulously designed the intricate
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
responsible corporate entity.
