Hinduism in Korea

South Korea is home to a small number of expats, including students and engineers, from countries such as India and Nepal many of whom are Hindu.

Sri Radha Shyamasundar Mandir[3] is open daily, at specific times in the morning and evening.

The temple offers various services to the mostly expat Hindu community, including children's classes, religious courses, festivals and ceremonies, such as weddings, as well as groceries for vegetarians.

Though South Korea is mostly secular, the range of religious beliefs displayed is quite broad.

While Korean Shamanism shares some similarities with Hinduism, most religious people adhere to either Buddhism or Christianity, and there remains a strong Confucian presence.
