For years the Hindu community has been trying to establish a purpose-built Hindu crematorium. So it was a particular joy for Barry to be asked to break the turf at the Bhumi Pooja Ceremony – ground breaking ceremony – on 15 July to mark the start of construction at the Aum Crematorium Project as part of the Anoopam Mission, Swaminarayan Temple. The photo shows Barry breaking the turf after offering prayers to mother earth.
