The Sri Siva Subramaniya is the largest Hindu temple in the southern hemisphere and a startling thing to find on the edge of a small Fijian town. It is built in the South Indian Dravidian style, with a gopuram — the towering, intricately sculpted gateway covered in painted figures of gods — rising directly out of the dust at the south end of Nadi's main street.
The temple is open to non-Hindu visitors for a small fee. Shoes off at the gate, modest dress, and no photos inside the inner sanctums (the perimeter is fine). The Tamil community that built it dates from the late 19th century, when South Indians arrived to work the sugar plantations. The annual Thai Pusam festival in January or February is the most spectacular day to visit.
