A Community Built on Devotion
The Hindu Mandir Society was established in the 1980s to serve the Indo-Swedish community of Stockholm. A religious, non-profit charity, the primary aim was to build a temple and community centre to meet the spiritual, ritual, ceremonial, and social needs of Hindus.
Hindu Mandir had the vision to build a grand temple where people believing in Hinduism could come together and pray according to individual beliefs and traditions.
The dream came true in September 1998 when, after many years of struggle, the temple in Helenelund was inaugurated. Since then the Mandir has become the centre of attraction for the local community.
The Hindu Mandir secures the Hindu way of life based on Vedic traditions while being an integrated part of Swedish society, regularly hosting worship, cultural events, and programmes for elders and youth alike.
