Nadi is the third-largest city in Fiji, situated on the western side of the main island, Viti Levu. It serves as a significant urban center with a multiracial population consisting of Asian, Indian, and Indigenous Fijian residents, as well as a large transient population of international tourists. The local economy is primarily supported by sugar cane production and tourism.
The city serves as a major gateway for the country, as Nadi Airport acts as the primary entry point for most visitors to Fiji. The town features a mix of cultural landmarks and commercial hubs, including the Nadi Market in the downtown center where local produce is sold, and various handicraft markets and department stores.
One of the city's most notable landmarks is the Sri Siva Subramaniya Temple, which is recognized as the largest Hindu temple of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Dedicated to the deity Murugan, the temple is characterized by its colorful roof, ornate interior with painted ceilings depicting Hindu stories, and a shrine to Ganesha located on the grounds.
