粉嶺皇后山軍營印度廟是1960年代落成,由駐守該營地的尼泊爾啹喀兵建造,供奉印度教毀滅之神濕婆(Shiva)。1996年之後軍營的啹喀兵(Gurkhas)撤走,自此印度廟遭到棄置,2010年被評定為三級歷史建築。
廟宇為一棟灰綠色六角形建築物,頂部有六個尖頂,呈皇冠狀,象徵印度教視為美麗及神聖的蓮花,為香港僅有的一座蓮花形狀的建築,罕有和獨特。建築物長滿青苔,廟内已沒有擺設。六面除了東南方外,每面均設有門戶,門上有一面黃色小窗,建築內部塗上紅色及藍色,廟内氣氛充滿神秘色彩。
The Hindu Temple at the Queen’s Hill Army Camp in Fanling was completed in the 1960s and was built by Nepalese Gurkhas soldiers stationed at the camp to worship Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction. After 1996, the Gurkhas left, and the Hindu temple was abandoned. In 2010, it was rated as a Grade III historical building.
The temple is a gray-greenish hexagonal building with six spires on top, which is crown-shaped, symbolising a lotus flower that is regarded as a beautiful and sacred in Hinduism. It is the only lotus-shaped building in Hong Kong, rare and unique. The building is covered with moss and there is no decoration left in the temple. Each of the 6 sides has a portal, except the southeast side, with a small yellow window above the door. The interior of the building is painted red and blue, and the atmosphere is full of mystery.
