Historical Appraisal:
The Hindu Temple at Burma Lines (formerly known as Queen’s Hill Camp in Fanling was
built in the 1960s for the Gurkhas (啹喀兵) who were stationed at the camp. Burma Lines was
once a British Army barracks, and the temple was the place where the Gurkhas in the camp
went to worship. The Gurkhas are soldiers from Nepal, which is the only country in the world
whose state religion is Hinduism. It is dedicated to the God of Destruction in Hinduism called
Shiva. The Gurkhas have now gone and the Temple has been vacant and disused since 1996.

Architectural Appraisal:
The Temple is resembles a lotus, the holy flower which represents beauty and holiness in
Hinduism. The plan is hexagonal and the structure is reinforced concrete formed by twelve
triangular upright slabs joined together in three dimensional geometric tent shapes to form a
six-pointed crown. The doors which open at all sides of the hexagon (excluding the southeast
side) allow access from all directions. There are five entrances fitted with double doors and
pointed windows above some of the doors. The whole structure is painted pale green
externally and orange and blue internally. Geometric shaped planters and drainage channels
surround the Temple. Internally the floor is screeded and there is a raised dais in one corner
for an altar. There is a small one-storey pitched roof concrete hut (purpose unknown) and a
pagoda-like temporary shrine nearby.
