A TRADITIONAL Hindu ceremony has taken place to bless the nearly completed Hatherleigh Care Village.

The directors at PSP Healthcare, which will operate the new facility, invited one of the High Priests of the Hindu faith — Rajubhai Mehta — to perform the ceremony in the home.

The £7 million care village, which is expected to create more than 60 jobs, is due to be finished before Christmas.

It will include a 50-bed nursing home together with 15 close care or independent living apartments.
