Ngôi đền thờ thần Shiva mọc lên giữa biển ở vịnh Paria, công trình một đời của Sewdass Sadhu, người Ấn Độ sinh ở Benares sang Trinidad từ năm lên bốn. Khi ngôi đền đầu tiên ông dựng trên bờ bị phá vì nằm trên đất tư của một công ty đường, ông quyết dựng đền ngoài biển, một mình gánh đá đổ nền suốt khoảng 25 năm. Năm 1995, dịp 150 năm người Ấn Độ tới Trinidad, ngôi đền hình bát giác được dựng lại khang trang, nối với bờ bằng một lối đi bộ.

This library is open and free, and it records its own progress in public. Three things you can help with today:
- Name a place we missedA founding temple, a church, a mosque, a shrine the table above does not have. Send the name, the province, and one line on why it belongs.
- Send a photograph with an open licenceNothing is published without both the photographer and the licence. Your own photograph with your permission, or an openly licensed one, are both welcome.
- Report an errorA wrong date, a wrong Chinese name, a wrong lineage, a wrong address. A library that is wrong once is not trusted again, so corrections are very welcome.

?Quick Questions
Why are there no opening hours or ticket prices
Because they change constantly. A library that is wrong once about a practical detail loses its standing on everything else. Check with the place itself before you travel.
Where do the images come from
From Wikimedia Commons under open licences, each credited to its photographer, or photographed by UK MASTER ACADEMY. No image is published without both its author and its licence.
How were these places chosen
Four tests: it is officially listed as a heritage site, it belongs to a tradition this library covers, its site and orientation can be read in feng shui terms, and an openly licensed photograph exists.
Why is my country still grey
The library opens one country at a time, beginning with the countries that have the most readers, and within each country with its most significant places. A grey country is simply one whose turn has not come. Suggestions are welcome through the page of Master Ưng Khiêm.
