Hanuman Murti and Davenna Yoga Centre

TIME : 2016/2/18 15:40:55

Towering 26m over the Davenna Yoga Centre and Ashram, the richly decorated Hanuman Murti is another potent icon of Trinidad’s Hindu community. Devotees from all over the country come here to pray and walk devotional circles around the statue. The only Southern Indian–style temple in the western hemisphere, the pink-painted yoga centre is equally ornate and is an incredible sight to behold in the middle of a small Trinidadian town. Take the Chase Village exit from the highway and 1km down the road you’ll see the turnoff for Orange Field Rd; the site is a couple of kilometers down.
