Welcome to
Oxford Hindu Temple & Community Centre
Our Vision
Despite being one of the largest religious communities in Oxford, the Hindu Community is the only one which up to now has not had its own place of worship or its own Community Centre.
During Celebrations of the Holi 2024 festival members of the Hindu Temple and Community Centre Project received the Keys to the Changing Rooms Building in Court Farm Place in Marston from the Susan Brown, Leader of the Oxford City Council
In the 2011 UK Census, Oxfordshire had almost 3800 people who declared themselves as Hindus; almost 10 years on the number is estimated to be close to 10,000! Our growing Hindu Community in Oxford and the County need permanent space where Hindu culture can be celebrated, learnt and shared with the widely diverse communities in Oxfordshire.
Hindu Families who have recently moved to the City and the County are eager to mark the cultural and spiritual occasions in the annual Hindu Calendar. Additionally, they aim to acquaint their children with their cultural heritage and language, which can bolster their self-worth and foster a sense of identity, while also disseminating it among the broader community in Oxfordshire.
Meanwhile, elderly individuals who may feel socially isolated require a venue to mingle with acquaintances from their own or surrounding communities and enhance their access to amenities.
The OHTCCP has been hosting numerous prosperous and all-encompassing community events. However, due to the unavailability of a permanent venue, these events are limited to a few per year.
Despite the success of its various inclusive community events, OHTCCP can only offer a limited number of them each year due to the lack of a permanent location. Having our own premises would significantly enhance our ability to serve all members of the community by providing a central location for cultural events, classes, and services.
We are excited to share that we have obtained the artist's impressions for our upcoming Mandir and Community Centre! These stunning visuals bring our vision to life, offering a glimpse of the sacred and welcoming space we are creating. Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward on this incredible journey!
