Description

Waterloo temple of Trinidad and Tobago, is a story of human persistence.

An Indo-Caribbean labourer, Seedas Sadhu, had constructed a first temple on the seashore in 1947. Soon thereafter, however, it was bulldozered and Sadhu sent to prison, because the temple was built on the lands of Caroni, the state sugar cane monopolist.

Committed to his passion, Seedas Sadhu decided to built the temple in the sea. So after his prison term, this Indo-Caribbean set out to build the Waterloo Temple. It took him 25 years to build the temple, all by himself and his bicycle with which he transported the building materials.

Symbols of his cultural faith decorate the walls of the Waterloo temple.
