Umhlanga Hindu Society

The Umhlanga Hindu Society (UHS) was established to fulfill the religious, cultural, spiritual, charitable and social needs of the Hindu community in Durban North, the greater Umhlanga area, and its surrounds. From humble beginnings in 1999 that commenced with regular weekly home services, the Umhlanga Hindu Society has grown with the acquisition of its current site in Somerset Park, at the corner of Hambridge Drive and Mt. Edgecombe Drive and the development, management and construction of the place of worship and cultural centre, which in itself, encompasses a unique temple design that caters for both North and South Indian Temple styles.

Our Mandhir and cultural facility is now the centre for the observance of all major Hindu religious and cultural events and festivals, whilst still offering use of the facility as a community resource centre for activities that benefit the community. The Society is registered as a Non-Profit Company with the Companies and Intellectual Properties Commission.
