HINDU HOUSE is a registered socio-cultural organization. The organization was founded to promote universal human values along with Social Cultural, Educational, Recreational, Spiritual & Religious needs & aspirations for the Mauritian and beyond in all walks of life. People (elderly ones & women in particular) feel a cultural void due to lack of such facilities and young people are gradually becoming detached from their rich cultural heritage. The aim and objective of Hindu House is not only very unique in nature, scope, impact & overall vision but is also to contribute significantly to the population at large, economy and its image.
