Located in Selangor, north of Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, the Batu Caves are one of the most frequented Hindu shrines outside India. The limestone caves are believed to be over 400 million years old. A 42.7-metre-high golden statue of the Hindu god of War, Lord Murugan, towers near the foot of the rainbow-coloured staircase.

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal today said it is mandatory to install CCTV camera at all puja mandaps to ensure security during upcoming Durga Puja, the largest religious festival of the Hindu Community.

The annual festival in southern Indian state Karnataka’s Chennakeshava Temple stuck to its age-old tradition by beginning with holy Quran recital, notwithstanding opposition from right-wing Hindu groups, Hindustan Times reported.

A decades-old Hindu temple was found vandalised in Panchagarh yesterday, three days after unknown assailants slit the throat of a Hindu priest in the district.

A temple belonging to the Hindu religious community is vandalised in Atoari upazila of Panchagarh, locals found out.

A Panchagarh court places three suspects on different terms of remand in two cases filed in connection with the murder of a priest in Debiganj upazila.

We vehemently condemn the attack on a Hindu temple and the murder of a priest, that too on a day which, for Bangladeshis, symbolises plurality, tolerance and secularism.
