00:23 Hi, my name is Pratapana. I'm a manager here at the Hare Krishna Farm in Gokul in Millfield.

00:31 This is a very spiritual enclave for the Hindu community, a sacred pilgrimage site.

00:38 We have over 40,000 pilgrims a year coming to this site, so they consider this being

00:43 incentive by the government to a holy, sacred space.

00:47 We have 300,000 plus Indians, Hindus in Sydney and in South Wales, and they consider this

00:54 place to be a very sacred shrine. So it's really considered to be quite sacrilegious

01:00 really by them, and they're very upset about it. But as I said, 40,000 people plus a year,

01:05 and they're all coming here for a religious experience. So to do that would be regarded

01:11 as sacrilegious to put such things on a holy pilgrimage site with a temple.
