Location
Open in Google MapsHampton Court Mandir is named, without further institutional detail, among a short list of Guyanese temples in Wikipedia’s “Hinduism in Guyana” article. Hampton Court itself is a real village on the Essequibo Coast in Pomeroon-Supenaam Region (Region 2) — a former sugar-plantation estate that closed in 1934 and was later redeveloped as a rice-farming community, a pattern common to many Essequibo Coast villages settled by the descendants of Indian indentured laborers.
Like most rural Guyanese mandirs, it likely serves as a Sanatan Dharma-affiliated congregational temple for its local Indo-Guyanese Hindu residents, consistent with the wider pattern described in this directory’s existing Guyana entry. However, no founding date, architecture, or presiding deity could be independently confirmed for this specific temple this pass, and it should not be assumed to share any history with the separately-documented Shri Krishna Mandir in Georgetown or the Edinburgh Shree Krishna Mandir named in the same source list.
Sources
- historical record: Named in Wikipedia's 'Hinduism in Guyana' article among a short bulleted list of temples ('Hampton Court Mandir'), with no accompanying founding year, deity, or address. Cross-checked against Wikipedia's 'Hampton Court, Guyana' article, which independently confirms Hampton Court as a real village on the Essequibo Coast in Pomeroon-Supenaam Region (Region 2), a former sugar-plantation estate (closed 1934) later redeveloped as a rice-farming community; that village article itself does not mention the mandir.
- historical record: Coordinates added this pass via OpenStreetMap/Nominatim geocoding of the village 'Hampton Court' itself (approximately 7.3119, -58.4804, in the Pomeroon-Supenaam district) — this is a village-level approximation, not the mandir's specific site, since no source pinpoints the temple's exact location within the village.
For review
- Hampton Court Mandir is named only in a bare list in Wikipedia's 'Hinduism in Guyana' article, with no founding year, founders, presiding deity, or address given. The village of Hampton Court itself is independently confirmed as real (and its village-level coordinates added this pass), but no source corroborates the mandir's precise site within it, so the temple's exact location and history remain unconfirmed this pass.
