Famous Hindu Temples and Structures around the world.

I'll start with a giant state of Lord Vinayaka in my hometown.

devotees believe that if a new vehicle is brought here for the first pooja (as Lord Ganesha is the lord of all beginnings), it safeguards the vehicle and the owner from all accidents.

It's a most beautiful site to behold, say visitors nearing the Mandir. One passerby described it as "like visiting India itself" while foreigners who came in four maxi-taxis yesterday marveled at its beauty and serenity.

They were all eyeing the magnificent 85-foot-high Hanuman murthi - the largest outside India it's claimed, and the exquisite architectural designs of the pinkish/saffron (Kesari) colored Dattatreya Mandir at Orange Field Road, Carapichaima.
