List of Hindu temples outside India

Apart from India, where the vast majority Hindu population lives, Hindu Temples are found across the world, on every continent. In the Indian subcontinent, thousands of modern and historic temples are spread across Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Outside the region, the oldest temples can be found in Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia where ancient seafaring empires like the Chola Empire and Vijayanagara Empire spread their dominions.

In the early modern period, Fiji, Guyana, Kenya, Malaysia, Mauritius, Réunion, Myanmar, Seychelles, Singapore, South Africa, Suriname, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago and Uganda, have seen many temples being built, as the Indian Diaspora settled across these areas over the past 250–300 years.

Australia

Hinduism is the third-largest religion in Australia, with 684,002 adherents (2.7% of the population) according to the 2021 Australian Census.[1] Hinduism is also the fastest-growing religion in the country, increasing by 55% between 2016 and 2021.[2] The Hindu population is comparatively young, with a large proportion under the age of 34.[3]

History

Census data reflects rapid demographic expansion:

  • 1986: 21,500 Hindus
  • 1991: 43,580 Hindus
  • 2001: 95,473 Hindus
  • 2011: 275,534 Hindus
  • 2016: 440,300 Hindus
  • 2021: 684,002 Hindus

This growth is attributed to skilled migration, family reunification, and the settlement of young professional communities across major cities.[3]
