A standing room crowd listens during the inaugural activities as they

celebrate the new Hindu temple, Thursday, June 29, 2006, in Maple

Grove, Minn. As many as 2,000 Hindus are expected to participate in

this week's celebration at the 42,000-square foot temple, one of the

largest in the United States. Gov. Tim Pawlenty was on hand to take

part in the celebration, which was originally scheduled for early June

but was delayed after vandals took baseball bats to nine of the

temple's religious icons in April. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
