Gibraltar Hindu Temple, Hindu temple on Engineer Lane, Gibraltar.
The Gibraltar Hindu Temple, also known as Shri Sanatan Mandir, is a Hindu place of worship located in central Gibraltar. The building houses shrines with religious statues and images, and it serves the local Hindu community for prayers and gatherings.
The Hindu community in Gibraltar traces back to merchants who settled during the 19th and early 20th centuries, mainly from Gujarat and Sindh. The temple was formally opened in 2000, giving the community its first dedicated space for religious practice.
The temple is known as Shri Sanatan Mandir and is the only Hindu place of worship in Gibraltar. Inside, devotees visit shrines dedicated to several deities, and the space is used for daily prayers as well as seasonal festivals.
The temple is in central Gibraltar and easy to reach on foot from most of the town. Visitors should wear modest clothing and remove their shoes before entering, as is customary in Hindu places of worship.
Gibraltar is one of the few territories in Europe where a Hindu community has been present without interruption for over a century. Some families still follow traditions brought directly from Gujarat and Sindh, kept alive across many generations.
