Arya Diwaker, Hindu temple in Paramaribo, Suriname
The Arya Diwaker temple features an octagonal structure with white and orange colors, located in the center of Paramaribo at Johan Adolf Pengel Street.
Founded in 1929 by Pandit Mehtā Jaimīnī, the temple received recognition from Dutch colonial authorities in 1930, with its current building opening in 2001.
The temple follows Arya Samaj principles, displaying no deity images but incorporating Swastikas for salvation and Om symbols representing universal cosmic vibration.
The building contains meeting rooms and a library on the ground floor, while the upper level functions as the main ceremonial space.
Circular seating surrounds the central fireplace during ceremonies, reflecting the principle that all participants share equal status in the community.
