Hinduism in Sierra Leone
Hinduism in Sierra Leone is the religion of some South Asian expatriates.[1]
Hindus in Sierra Leone are mainly traders. Freetown, the capital and principal city of Sierra Leone, has a larger Hindu community, including a Hindu association and a priest. Hindus are allowed cremation in Freetown, Sierra Leone.[2]
Following the exodus of expatriates in 1999 during the Sierra Leone civil war, the Indian community numbers dwindled to about 100, mostly businessmen of Sindhi origin.
There is a functional Hindu temple in Freetown.[3]
