dattatreya temple and hanuman statue

A very peaceful religious enclave in central Trinidad. It is a Hindu Temple but persons of all religious persuasions visit. It is well kept and swamis are on site to assist with the ceremonial parts.

good example of the celebration of indian culture...a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip...

these are 2 intresting places of worship to visit, the drive to and from is breathtaking through villages.there could be long funeral processions here so be aware and avoid the traffic

The Dattatreya Temple and Hanuman Statue is easily the best architectural site in Trinidad and Tobago. The temple is unmatched in its detail to architecture on the island and the feel of the place brings home a beautiful sense of peace.

Stopped at the Temple on the Trinidad Circle Tour. Very beautiful architecture. I would highly recommend this site. The statues were very amazing. Thumbs up.

Lovely settingBeautiful building and statue a real surpriseWe just popped in for a few moments on our way back to port of Spain after a full day out - worth the stopYou do need to take off your shoes to go inside - worth it

Went on a trip to this place and what a wonderful find. So peaceful, and beautiful architecture.Highly recommended

This is such a marvelous site. The Hanuman statue is the largest of its kind outside of India. It is 85 feet tall. The details are amazing. The temple itself is also full of intricate details. A true wonder to behold.

Immaculate grounds, impressive temple buildings artfully decorated with colorful adornments. A truly impressive architectural achievement.

There is great Hanuman murti, its really very tall and wide. Its amazing to visit this place as hindu. Kindly make your visit between morning 9 to 12 or after 6 pm because temple is close between 12 to 6 p.m.

here yo will find the only Hanuman murti of that scale in the entire Caribbean. The entire temple grounds have been modeled after temple designs of Southern India and they even bring in holy men from Indian. It is quite the pilgrimage spot.

a must see for any one. one of the largest Hanuman statues in the world. also vist the temple in the sea which is close by. highly recommend for all to see

On hearing about this Temple we had to visit to see this little piece of India placed here in Trinidad. It was a very lovely visit to witness the intricate architecture and experience the spiritual ambiance.

This temple was constructed by artisans brought in from India. It is well worth a visit to admire the intricate architectural details of the main temple, learn about Trinidad Hinduism, and see the 85-foot statue of the monkey deity, Hanuman. There are giant elephant statues that guard the temple doors. This is a religious site, so appropriate clothing is required (no shorts), and shoes must be left outside the temple door. It's fine to take pictures of the statue and the temple exterior and grounds, but permission is required to take pictures inside, as it's an active place of worship. The temple is half an hour from Port of Spain; take Churchill Roosevelt Highway east to Uriah Butler south; turn right until the Chase Village flyover (overpass); follow the signs south to Waterloo; then follow signs to the temple.

El templo es muy bello y es una experiencia interesante la de ver cómo conviven diferentes religiones y culturas en un mismo sitio. Siendo Trinidad y Tobago una mezcla única entre el Caribe e India, este es un lugar para acercarse a las tradiciones hinduistas de la isla.
