New York, April 8

A multi-million dollar temple under construction in mid-west Minnesota

was vandalised on April 5 damaging large number of Hindu deities,

which were specially imported from India. Built by the Hindu Society

of Minnesota at Mapple Grove near Minneapolis at a cost of $9 million,

the consecration ceremony of the temple was scheduled for June. ``This

is a crime against a minority institution, and there is no way the

perpetrators did not know that,'' Indian American leader and Minnesota

State Senator Satveer Chaudhary said. Temple officials said a new date

for consecration ceremony would be announced later.
