Shree Emperumal Temple
Vanakkam, Namaste, Namaskaram
Celebrating 150 Years | 2025
Established in 1875, the Shree Emperumal Temple was the first temple to be built in Mount Edgecombe
The story of the Shree Emperumal Temple in Mt Edgecombe is very closely linked with the history of the Sugar Industry in Natal. The sugar industry had its origin in 1847 when Henry and Tom Milner brought a supply of cane seed from Mauritius. In 1850, Edmund Morewood – “the father of the sugar industry” – erected the first sugar mill and commenced crushing sugar.
