COMMUNITY

The event hall’s banquet style set-up

In addition to size and space, there are also fi nancial advantages
with hosting a celebration at the Hindu Samaj. The cost of
renting the event hall is a fl at fee of B33,000, which is a fraction
of the expenses involved in renting a function space in a luxury
hotel. Moreover, now that construction is near completion on
the building’s full industrial kitchen, event organisers can opt
for fresh home-style Indian catering at approximately B150
per head, or they can choose to hire external options. As the
community centre is a weekly host to a number of spiritual
gatherings, lectures and school events, the hall is also fi tted
with a professional light and sound system that can be adapted
to suit all get-togethers.

Furthermore, the possibilities for celebrating special occasions
are also limitless. Many who have visited Dev Mandir proudly
talk about the beauty and magnifi cence of each religious idol.
These elements make the space an ideal place to hold family
gatherings, prayers and even weddings, as the interiors are
incredibly meaningful. Additionally, a wedding within the temple Buffet style catering station
costs B11,000, which is a small sum for a ceremony held within an
establishment that is ingrained with so much history and pride.
