Hinduism is a minority faith in Kenya, constituting 0.13% of the population of Kenya.[1] Due to the efforts of the Hindu Council of Kenya, Kenya is one of only three African countries to recognise Hinduism as a religion.[2] Hindus are free to practise their religion in Kenya, and several Kenyan cities have Hindu temples.[3] The Hindu temples in Kenya are mostly of north and west Indian architectural style.
