Watford Hindu Group
Bringing together the Hindu community through faith, culture, education and service.
About Us
Watford Hindu Group is a non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing together Hindus across Watford and surrounding areas. Through religious, cultural, educational and social activities, we preserve our traditions, strengthen community bonds, and pass on our heritage to future generations.
Our journey began in 1973, when a small group of families celebrated Janmashtami at the Hare Krishna Temple in Letchmore Heath. From these humble beginnings, the community has grown from around 80 members to nearly 2,000 in 2026.
Our Journey Since 1973
Festivals & Celebrations
We come together throughout the year to celebrate Hindu festivals, traditions and cultural occasions.
From Diwali and Janmashtami to Navaratri and Ganesh Utsav, our celebrations bring families and communities together.
Community Activities
Our activities provide opportunities for families and individuals to connect, enjoy time together and build lasting friendships. From picnics and outings to social gatherings and weekly yoga, there is something for everyone.
Volunteer-LED Organisation
Watford Hindu Group is proudly run by dedicated volunteers who freely give their time, skills and energy to support our community. Their commitment helps us organise events, activities and services throughout the year.
Education
Gujarati School
Our Gujarati School has been helping generations of children learn the Gujarati language, culture and values since the 1980s.
It continues to connect young people with their heritage and keep our traditions alive.
Our Community Impact
We are proud of our vibrant and growing community. Our Facebook and Instagram pages are followed by thousands across Hertfordshire and London, helping us stay connected with both long-standing members and new generations.
