December 1960 - The Temple That Will Not Die - Waiting

December 1960 - The Temple That Will Not Die - Waiting to worship in the ruins. Officially the temple should be dead and buried. It has been blasted and bulldozed. But people still queue to worship in the half-excavated vaults. This is the story of Durban's Umbilo temple. a temple that has been condemned to death, but survives all attempts to destroy it, as if it was wielding a magic power of its own. It already has a legendary past. It still has worshippers who prefers its ruins to other modern shrines. (Photograph by G. R Naidoo @ BAHA)
