The Himalayas, the towering, snow-clad mountain range in southern Asia, is considered to be one of Hinduism's most sacred sites. According to Hindu scripture, Hindus are encouraged to make four pilgrimages to the region in their lifetimes.

But because not many Hindus in Queens have the wherewithal to trek to the Himalayas, the resident monks of Divya Dham temple are bringing the Himalayas to Queens.
