Memorial for Amrit and Saroj Lal

Tabled by Tracy Gilbert (Labour) 6 signatures

The motion

That this House commemorates Amrit and Saroj Lal, founders of the Edinburgh Hindu Mandir and Cultural Centre; notes that a memorial service was held for them in March 2026 following Amrit’s passing earlier this year and Saroj’s passing in 2020; understands that both Amrit and Saroj worked tirelessly throughout the 1980s to find and create a permanent home for Hindu worship and culture in Edinburgh; and further notes that following years of work they founded the Edinburgh Hindu Mandir on 13th November 1993 on St Andrews Place which has gone from strength to strength since.
