History

The Shrinathji Shri Krishna Temple grew with the arrival of Vaishnav families in Bahrain. In its early years, darshan gatherings started modestly and expanded as the community organized the Thattai Hindu Community (THC). Over time, the haveli saw dedicated volunteers, larger festival celebrations, and infrastructural improvements.

Milestones

Consecration of the shrine and establishment of a structured daily darshan schedule.

Expansion during growing festival participation—especially Janmashtami, Diwali/Annakut, and Sharad Purnima.

Formalization of volunteer roles for decor, prasad, queue management, and safety.

Continuity & Care

The temple’s continuity rests on seva—maintenance, cleanliness, and adherence to temple etiquette. Families contribute their time and resources so that children witness and inherit a living tradition.
