The practise of Hinduism in Botswana is concentrated in and around Gaborone and Selebi-Phikwe. The community of Hindus began to form in the early 20th century with the beginning of immigration from India to Botswana. Most Hindus in Botswana are of Indian descent. The 2001 census of Botswana listed approximately 3,000 Hindus. Members of Hindu community estimated that these figures significantly understated their respective numbers.〔(International Religious Freedom Report 2006 Botswana )〕 == Hindu temples in Botswana == With the growth of the community, a number of region-based community associations have sprung up. There is already a Hindu temple in Gaborone, and another in Selebi-Phikwe. A gurudwara is also been built in the capital city. Plans have been made for the construction of a Swaminarayan temple, a Sai Baba Centre, a Venkateswara Temple and an ISKCON Centre at various sites in Botswana.〔(Indian Diaspora )〕 The following are the major Hindu temples in Botswana: * ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), Gaborone * Shiva-Vishnu Temple, Selebi-Phikwe * The Hindu Hall, Gaborone * Sri Balaji Temple, Block 8, Gaborone 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hinduism in Botswana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
