The society works closely with other cultural and religious groups to foster cross-cultural understanding and create a space where students can celebrate their identity and share their traditions with the wider university community. Whether you're looking to connect with your roots, explore Hinduism, or simply participate in a diverse and welcoming community, the Hindu Cultural Society at UQ is a great way to engage, learn, and celebrate together.
