Hi all,

I am taking up an assignment in Qatar and would like to know whether it is allowed to carry photos of Indian gods to Qatar?

i love doha but then you will hear of people hating this place too.

accom, 2bed unfurnished place is difficult and it can come till 5000+, furnished will easily be around 7000.

its difficult to find a place...not that easy.

if you have that sort of money you are ready to shell out then you may still have many options.

for most its a struggle.

take care.

Wanted to Clarify that it is not a temple, but a Prayer Hall. With festivties taking places on different occasions.

Rest of the queries you have, han would have more details, so would leave it for her to answer it.

Hi han19,

Thanks for your prompt reply. It is really encouraging to know that there is also a hindu temple constructed.

How is Doha as a place? Can you give me some idea on rental rates for a 2 BHK F/F apartment in Doha and how difficult is it to find a decent acco.

I shall remain in contact with you.

Best regards,

Shalabh Gupta

Would like to add on to Han's comment, that the prayer hall does exist, and poojas do happen very much there, if you need i could provide you contact details of the relevant persons there, so that you can be part of the festivities.

But please do carry your own idol, or a photo, sudnt be an issue getting here at all.

And welcome to the desert.

Religion City (which is my nickname for it) is right outside of the city and it will house 5 different churches and temples, the last I heard the Hindu temple was one of them.

religion city? hope you arent pulling my leg gypsy.

the last i know is that its close to my place of residence and theres been no talk about it been moving from there. well anything is possible here.

and its not near indian embassy but near the stadium opposite the mall in al-hilal. its behind the stadium in a villa.

sputnik, i have visited temples and i have not heard of them refusing entry to anyone.......so you can go and take a look. i can get the exact location later.

hey no issues here in worshiping what you belive in. doha is a much liberal country.dont carry pork, porno and alchohol .welcome to doha.

shouldnt be a problem.

all the hindus here have photos and the idols as well. the photos and idols arent available here so they got to get it from their home country.

there is also a new temple built someplace near the indian embassy where they have regular pujas, esp during the festivals.

all is fine alhamdullilah. people are tolerant here.
