New Jersey, October 11

Billed to be the second largest temple in the world, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere, the Akshardham Temple has been inaugurated in Robbinsville City of New Jersey.

Spread over 185 acres, the temple has the story of Ramayana and Mahabharata carved on its stones, and more than 150 Indian musical instruments and all major dance postures on its pillars and walls.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
