Sri Mangala Vinayahar Community Centre

About

Our charity is established to promote the Hindu religion by maintaining a Hindu (Ganesh) temple following the Saiva Siththaantha traditions of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. We support the spiritual, cultural, and educational needs of the local Hindu community in Glasgow and surrounding areas. To achieve this, we organise regular religious services, festivals, and cultural events, and we provide Tamil language classes, Hindu spiritual education, and IT and computer training. We also offer activities and facilities that support social welfare, including programmes for elderly members of the community and access to health and wellbeing advice. In addition, we work to relieve poverty in Sri Lanka—particularly in the North and East—and in Tamil Nadu through charitable support and community-led initiatives.
