Arte Charpentier had the honor to participate in the stone blessing ceremony of the first traditional Hindu temple in France and in Europe, organized in the presence of Jean-Christophe Peaucelle, Advisor for Religious Affairs at the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, by Pujya Yogvivekdas Swami, Spiritual Master of BAPS UK & Europe, by Alain Nguoto, sub-prefect of Torcy, as well as by Sanjeev Singla, Ambassador of India in France and in the Principality of Monaco
A strong and symbolic moment, marking the meeting between heritage, craftsmanship and shared values.

Shaped in India by master craftsmen, the carved sandstone that makes up the temple embodies a living tradition, driven by transmission, respect and dialogue between cultures. A moment of meaning and recollection, shared alongside all the project stakeholders.
