It is an immense privilege to serve as a trustee for EELA Lingeswarar Kovil Nottingham. Our collective vision is to create not just a temple, but a spiritual home that anchors the entire Hindu community in Nottingham, ensuring the deep-rooted traditions of Saivism continue to flourish for generations to come.

The Sivan Temple was established over three years ago by a dedicated group of Hindus in Nottingham. For the first two years, weekly poojas were held every Tuesday evening in a hall in Arnold while a suitable permanent location was sought.

In summer 2024, the temple moved into its new premises in the Warsop area of North Nottingham following initial renovations. Planning permission has since been obtained to extend the building, with work currently underway to develop the site into a purpose-built temple. Public support will be sought as this major project progresses.

Regular worship continues, with poojas, bhajans, and abhishekams held every Friday evening, led by an Iyer. Devotees also gather at the temple on important religious occasions for special prayers.

Our charity's strength lies in our community focus. We are committed to safeguarding the welfare of all members, from our children who are our future, to our valued elders. This temple will be a truly inclusive space where every individual can find support, connection, and spiritual nourishment.

The core of our faith is built on the principles of love, understanding, and selflessness. As a committee, we strive to see these values reflected in every action we take and every service we provide. We believe the temple will be a beacon of harmony, promoting spiritual growth and unity within the community.

Providing a sacred place for worship, where traditional poojas and rituals dedicated to Lord Shiva and other deities can be performed, is fundamental to our purpose. We are dedicated to maintaining the sanctity and cultural authenticity of our religious practices, allowing devotees to connect with the divine in a traditional Sri Lankan manner
