On Wednesday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the largest traditional stone Hindu temple in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi. The temple is located in the Abu Marikha area, near the highway linking the capital, Abu Dhabi, to the neighboring emirate of Dubai.
This was Modi's third visit to the Emirates in eight months, and he said on his account on the X website about this step: "I feel happy to be part of this sacred moment" The Indian community in the UAE constitutes the largest expatriate community in this Gulf country.
