The 20 Flats

Rent that keeps the Mandir running

Twenty flats are rising on the Mandir’s own land. They will be let, never sold, and their rent will pay for the Mandir’s daily running, upkeep and seva — for the generations after us.

Since 1952

From a living room on Nkrumah Road

Before there was a Mandir, Mwanza’s Hindus gathered for evening satsang in Shree Devshibhai Mistry’s home. Six years after the Union was registered, the Mandir opened with four days of celebration, and devotees came from across East Africa.
