Temple in the Sea, Hindu temple in Waterloo, Trinidad and Tobago
The octagonal temple stands on a man-made island in the Gulf of Paria, connected to the mainland by a concrete walkway.
Siewdass Sadhu built the original temple in 1947 on sugar company land, leading to its demolition and his imprisonment for fourteen days.
The temple displays statues of Hindu deities including Shiva, Ganesha, Hanuman, Durga, and Krishna for religious ceremonies and daily prayers.
Visitors need to remove their shoes before entering the temple and should plan their visits according to tide schedules for better access.
For 25 years, Siewdass Sadhu transported construction materials by bicycle to build this temple in the sea after authorities demolished his land-based shrine.
