The Hindu Society of Manitoba is Winnipeg’s principal Hindu religious organization, operating at least two facilities — a Hindu Temple and Dr. Raj Pandey Hindu Centre, and a separate Hindu Temple and Cultural Centre — serving the city’s Hindu community as sites of worship, cultural programming, and community gathering. Its existence and activity are corroborated independently by a 2010 recognition noted in Wikipedia’s article on the Sankurathri Foundation, alongside its listing in Wikipedia’s directory of Canadian Hindu temples. No founding date, presiding deity, or specific address could be confirmed this pass; this entry fills what had previously been a gap in this directory’s coverage of the Canadian Prairies, where Winnipeg is a notable Hindu community center outside the Toronto-Calgary-Montreal corridor already represented here.
Sources
- historical record: Named in Wikipedia's 'List of Hindu temples in Canada' article (Manitoba/Winnipeg section), listing the 'Hindu Society of Manitoba' as operating both a 'Hindu Temple and Dr. Raj Pandey Hindu Centre' and a separate 'Hindu Temple and Cultural Centre,' citing the Society's own website ('Our Temples' page), which could not be independently reached this pass. Separately, Wikipedia's 'Sankurathri Foundation' article corroborates the Hindu Society of Manitoba as a real, active Winnipeg organization, noting it (jointly with the Telugu Literary Society of Manitoba) received recognition in 2010.
For review
- No founding date, presiding deity, address, or architectural detail could be confirmed this pass; the Society's own website (cited by Wikipedia) could not be independently reached. Its existence as a real, active Winnipeg Hindu organization is nonetheless corroborated by two independent Wikipedia articles ('List of Hindu temples in Canada' and 'Sankurathri Foundation').
