Hinduism in Jamaica

[1] Sanatan Dharma Mandir in Kingston is the only government-recognised Hindu temple in the country.

In the following years, some converted to Christianity and some returned to India, leading to a decline in Hindu population.

In 1970, the Sanatan Dharma Mandir was constructed on Hagley Park Road in Kingston.

It was built in mid 1970s by Pandit Munaeshwar Maragh at 114B Hagley Park Road.

In 2017, Nathan Pandit — who was believed to be the only Hindu priest in Jamaica — was murdered under mysterious circumstances.
