The Sri Siva Subramaniya temple in Fiji is a must see in Nadi, Fiji. Women should wear modest clothing, I suggest a long skirt and modest top. Men should wear long pants and shirt. If you come to visit the temple in inappropriate clothing you will be given wraps to wear over your clothing. I had dressed appropriately for the occasion, but David was given a sarong type garment to wear over his shorts.
We were in ahh of all of the colors in the paintings and artwork. The peace and wonder of this amazing temple was truly breathtaking.
A free vegetarian lunch is served daily in a large open patio area. As we looked at the area where lunch would be served, we noticed hundreds of school children seated behind a barrier which circled around the temple. We asked why they were all there and were told that all schools were let out today in honor of a special Temple Blessing Ceremony.
As we were touring this amazing peaceful place everyone was being asked to leave the temple. They were about to bless a new temple and all visitors had to leave the premises. For some reason a priest approached my husband and I asked if we would join them as they bless the new temple. We were so unbelievably honored and the experience just took our breath away. As we participated in the ceremony, we were approached by multiple people, they touched our hands and told us we were blessed. We participated in the ash blessing and were even allowed to take pictures, which is usually strictly for bidden.
 I cannot even begin to describe this honor and the feelings that we had while participating in this sacred ceremony. We ate lunch the vegetarian lunch that was offered. Both David and I thought it was absolutely delicious. Please put this on your phone bucket list. Do not miss visiting a temple while you are visiting Fiji.
