Hinduism is the third largest religious group in the Netherlands, after Christianity and Islam; representing about 1.0% of the Dutch population in 2019.[1] After the United Kingdom and Italy, the third largest Hindu community of Europe lives in the Netherlands. There are between 150,000 – 200,000 Hindus currently living in the Netherlands, the vast majority of who migrated from Suriname – a former Dutch colony in South America.[2][3] There are also sizable populations of Hindu immigrants from India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Afghanistan,[4] as well as a smaller number of Western adherents of Hinduism-oriented new religious movements.
