However, the Association of Religion Data Archives states that as of 2005, 2.0% identify as Hindu.[2] According to other sources it is 2.3%.[3]
History[edit]
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.
Today[edit]
Though 3.9% of the population of Belize are Indians, most of them are Christians. Only a few 40% are still Hindus. .[4]
There is a Hindu temple in Albert Street, Belize city and Paraiso, Corozal.[5] Festivals like Diwali,[6] Janmashtmi[7] are celebrated by Hindus in this temple.
