"Ohm Navacakti Nayaki Ampal Alayam", Albersloher Weg 587, MŸnster. This goddess temple illustrates why many of the German Tamil Hindu temples have gone unnoticed by the German locals. In striking contrast to the Kamadchi temple (plates 1-14), this temple is "invisible". Whereas the Kamadchi temple moved out of a basement, the Navacakti Nayaki temple is still located in the basement of a typical Westfalian brick house (top picture). The yellow sign with the black arrow in the foreground does not indicate the temple, but the baker's shop on the ground floor of the house. The picture below shows the unspectacular staircase leading down to the basement shrine, the staircase being hardly visible behind the two big containers for waste disposal. The shrine was established in 1994-95 by Tirucelvam Rama Natan, an ardent devotee of the goddess, who lives on the upper floor of the house and still acts as priest today (see plate 15). For two years now there have been plans to get a larger property and extend the priestly office to a regular service, similar to the one in the Kamadchi temple, Hamm-Uentrop.
