Hinduism in Kazakhstan

Hinduism in Kazakhstan is represented mainly by the ISKCON followers and by expatriate Hindus from India. The Census in Kazhakhstan doesn't recognize Hinduism. According to an estimate, there are about 500 Hare Krishna devotees in Kazakhstan.[1] There were about 801 Hindus in Kazakhstan in 2010 according to ARDA.[2] As of 2020, there were about 1878 Hindus in Kazakhstan.[3]

Recently, the decision of the Kazakh government to raze the Hindu temple created a big controversy.[4]
