December 1960 - The Temple That Will Not Die - The Temple As It Is Today. This is the strange story of a temple that refuses to die. The Umbilo Shree Ambalavanar Alayam - more commonly known as the Umbilo Temple - has more fact and fiction wrapped around it than any other place of worship in the country. It recent months thousands of Hindus from Natal have been flocking to the derelict temple in Durban to worship. The temple was deconsecrated almost two decades ago and various attempts at demolishing the structure have been made. (Photograph by G. R Naidoo @ BAHA)
