Vancouver Hindu Cultural Society

The Vancouver Hindu Cultural Society (VHCS) has been a significant force in bringing together the Hindu community in the Lower Mainland of the Vancouver area and beyond. Founded in 2014, the organization has expanded rapidly, providing a wide range of cultural, religious, and community services. VHCS’s commitment to offering inclusive spaces for individuals of all ages has made it a vital part of the local Hindu community.

The society’s origin story is heartwarming—what started as a small gathering of families attending evening prayers in Malayalam grew into a thriving collective of over 30 families, united by their shared cultural and religious bonds. As the community’s needs grew, so did the vision of the founders, leading to the establishment of VHCS.

Through its various activities and programs, VHCS continues to play an essential role in preserving and promoting Hindu traditions, while also fostering a sense of unity and belonging among its members. The organization’s efforts ensure that people from all walks of life can come together, celebrate their heritage, and participate in meaningful community events.
