Sri Siva Subramaniya temple, Hindu temple in Nadi, Fiji
Sri Siva Subramaniya temple is a Hindu place of worship featuring Dravidian architectural style with intricate stone carvings and towering gate structures called gopurams. The building displays characteristic vertical proportions, decorated surfaces with carved details, and inner sanctums where worshippers gather.
The original temple stood on this site long before the present building; the Then India Sanmarga Ikya Sangam was founded in it in 1926. A new national temple was planned for the Sangam's Golden Jubilee in 1976, when the foundation was laid, and a new lease on Crown land was acquired in 1983. The Bhoomi Pooja followed in January 1984, construction began that April, and the consecration took place on 15 July 1994.
The temple is the centre of the TISI Sangam, the organisation founded at the old temple in 1926. Since 1984, when the Tamil Nadu government sent Shivacharya Mahalinga Gurukkal as chief priest, new ceremonies have drawn large numbers of devotees. A restaurant on the grounds serves traditional vegetarian dishes.
Visitors need to follow dress codes that require covering shoulders and knees when entering the temple. Photography is not permitted in certain sacred areas, so it's best to ask staff members which zones allow cameras.
The temple's painted carvings were restored by artisans who travelled from Tamil Nadu to Nadi for the centenary of TISI Sangam in 2026. The organisation itself was founded at the old temple on this site in 1926, and its Golden Jubilee in 1976 launched the rebuilding programme.
