Hinduism in Mozambique

Hinduism in Mozambique

Mozambique has a significant Indian/Hindu community. Most of their ancestors came to Mozambique close to 500 years ago. Living for 500 years in Africa, including under the influence of the Portuguese during their colonization, the vibrancy of Indian culture is still evident today.
