Hindu Temple, Burma Lines

Hindu Temple, Burma Lines, Hindu temple and Grade III historic building in Kwan Tei, Hong Kong.

Hindu Temple, Burma Lines is a hexagonal grey-green building on a small hilltop at Queen's Hill, surrounded by banyan trees. Its crown-like roof has six pointed tops made of 12 triangular pieces, and five of its six sides have doorways, each with a small window. Inside, the walls are painted orange and blue, with an altar in one corner.

The temple was built in the 1960s by Nepalese Gurkhas stationed at the Queen's Hill (Burma Lines) military camp in Fanling, Hong Kong. After 1992 the camp became a police logistics base and the Gurkhas withdrew, leaving the temple abandoned. It was graded a Grade III historic building in 2010.

The temple's name in Chinese, 皇后山軍營印度廟, ties it to Queen's Hill (皇后山) and the Burma Lines camp where Gurkha soldiers were stationed. Its lotus-form roof, built from 12 triangles, refers to a flower Hindus regard as sacred. The altar in one corner of the orange-and-blue interior was the focus of worship; the building has stood unused since the Gurkhas left after 1992.

The temple sits near the Queen's Hill housing estate in an area where construction work has been ongoing, so access conditions can change without much notice. Checking local sources before heading out is a good idea, and some flexibility in planning will help.

The crown-like top is made of 12 triangular panels forming six points, a lotus shape its Gurkha builders gave it; it is described as Hong Kong's only lotus-shaped building. Five of the six sides have doorways, each with a small window, while the southeast side is solid.
