The Hindu community in Warwick and Royal Leamington Spa has been an important part of local life for at least four generations. Initially, it lacked a dedicated place of worship but through hard work and generous financial help from the local council and the community, a building came about. The Shree Krishna Mandir very quickly became a valued local resource providing community as well as religious support.
In that regard, the Mandir provided unfailing support for the Diwali Lights switch on programme held at the Royal Spa Centre for very many years. That programme was organised annually over many years by the BABPA. On behalf of myself as the founding chairman of BABPA, and my successors, I would like to thank the congregation of Shree Krishna Mandir for their support and
encouragement.
When a local solicitor, I was honoured to be asked to assist, in a modest fashion, the travel arrangements for a Panditji from India. The redevelopment of the existing site to provide improved facilities and to better serve the community, points to a bright future and ongoing contribution to the life of our diverse and harmonious community.
