The temple lies in central Masaka, from me being there for four months I only know of one Indian family. They moved from Jinja to Masaka and what a change that must have been. There is a temple, old and almost in ruins.
The temple no longer acts as a gathering for spiritual meaning but as a business meeting center. From talking the family in Masaka, it was said that there were tons of Indians at least 20,000+ in 1972 they being Indians and Pakistanis were forced out of the country, during the Idi Amin time.
A passage found in a news article on the BBC's website, titled 1972: Asians given 90 days to leave Uganda "General Amin has called the Asians "bloodsuckers" and accused them of milking the economy of its wealth".

| Imli growing. |

| An idol thrown to the ground. In fact on the walls of the temple on the outside exterior some one has drawn a vulgar representation of a penis on the walls. It's disgusting to see a holy site being trashed up. |
