Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced that his government will support the first Hindu School in Australia at Holi celebrations at BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir and Cultural precinct in Kemps Creek, NSW.
He also said that as part of the great festival of colours what fuldol does is hold out to us the greatest hope of all, the triumph of good over evil, and that Australians of Hindu faith compellingly remind us, it is something that we must never stop striving for.
“Through the beautiful power of your example you have firmly cemented the festival of colours as a cherished fixture in the Australian calender and it was my great honour two years ago to celebrate Holi in Gujarat with Prime Minister Modi”, added Albanese.
The spiritual leader of the BAPS movement, Mahant Swami Maharaj was also present on the occasion. The BAPS Temple in Kemps Creek (located around 50 kms from Sydney CBD) which opened recently in February 2025 is the largest traditional stone Temple in Australia.
Education Minister Jason Clare also posted about the announcement.
