History

The Hindu community in Belize today consists mostly of families who arrived in the 1950s, when Belize was still a British colony. The community is composed almost entirely of Sindhis and so there are few cultural differences within it.

There are two Hindu temples in Belize, one on Albert Street, Belize city and Sukh Shanti Temple, Corozal. Festivals like Diwali, Janmashtmi are celebrated by Hindus in this temple.
