History

[edit]

Timor has no traditional Hindu population. The temple was built during the Indonesian occupation and was intended for the Hindu immigrants of that time, who mainly came from Bali. The inauguration took place on 27 June 1987 by Governor of East Timor Mário Viegas Carrascalão.[3] After the end of the occupation, most Hindus left the country. In 2015, only 272 East Timorese profess Hinduism.[4] Now the temple is quite run down,[5] although some Balinese from Indonesia and East Timorese government has started efforts to revitalize the temple.[2] As of January 2023, restoration was considered 90% complete.[6]
