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.

Today

Though 3.9% of the population of Belize are Indians, most of them are Christians. Only about 40% are still Hindus.Шаблон:Cn

There are two Hindu temples in Belize, one on Albert Street, Belize city and Sukh Shanti Temple, Corozal.[4] Festivals like Diwali,[5] Janmashtmi[6] are celebrated by Hindus in this temple.
