The temple was built by an Indian forced laborer named Siewdass Sadhu. Under British rule, the East Indians were not allowed to pray on British land. Out of strength and pure devotion Sadhu built the temple in the sea, since no man could claim the sea for himself and therefore no one could stop him once it was there.
