About The Hindu Temple of Scotland

The history of Hindu Mandir, Glasgow dates back to the latter part of 1967 when a group of Hindu women got together and started Bhajan/Kirtan from home to home. The intention was to set up a place of worship for the Hindu community. This beautiful Hindu Mandir took its final shape and was inaugurated on July 23, 2006.

The Hindu Temple of Scotland provides a platform for all devotees to enhance the Hindu culture, traditions, languages, and practices followed in South India. Carnatic music and Bharathanatyam classes are held every Sunday by the temple. Further, the Art of Living Foundation runs yoga classes periodically in the temple. This temple encourages the celebration of all Hindu festivals and rituals. Everyone is welcome to visit the temple premises irrespective of race and religion. Priests offer pooja in traditional South Indian style. Visit this beautiful temple for a divine spiritual experience.
