Darwin's temple was originally built on the Esplanade next to the old Court House. After complaints about the noise made during ceremonies and festivals it was moved to Woods Street in 1887. The Woods Street temple was damaged during the cyclones of 1897 and 1937 and also during the bombing of Darwin in 1942. At this time the furnishings and statues were looted and vandalised by Australian soldiers. The temple was restored and reopened on 22 February 1959.
