SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, November 28, 2017 (Post): A coalition of Salt Lake City attorneys known as the “Refugee Justice League” has begun work to help Bhutanese refugees build a Hindu temple. Thousands of refugees came to Utah in 2008 when the U.S. took in about 60,000 people from the South Asia country Bhutan. The Utah refugees gathered at a Krishna temple for classes, dances and festivals last year. But they say they need their own temple to practice their faith, preserve traditions and pass on their language. More than 300 lawyers have volunteered their services to make the temple a reality.

HPI note: The local Mormon community encouraged and contributed financially to the Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple (http://utahganesha.org/) in South Jordan, Utah, which was consecrated in 2003.
