Coming back to Hamm/Westphalia, a rather less excited town which is home to three Hindu temples, however. The Sri Kamadchi Ampal temple is situated in its industrial outskirts whereas the Sri Sithi Vinayakar temple and the Sri Arumuka Velelakan temple are located in pedestrian walking distance from the station. The image provides an impression of the yard leading to the Sri Sithi Vinayakar temple on a normal winter day. The temple was established in 1994 in a former metal-working warehouse. (March 2001)
