Hinduism arrived in Jamaica primarily through the migration of Indian laborers in the 19th century, particularly between 1845 and 1917, when they were brought to work on sugar plantations after the abolition of slavery. These laborers, mainly from the regions of present-day Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, brought their cultural and religious practices with them. Over time, Hindu temples were established, and the community maintained its traditions, contributing to Jamaica's diverse cultural landscape. Today, Hinduism is practiced by a small but vibrant community in Jamaica.

In Jamaica, Hinduism is primarily practiced in urban areas such as Kingston and Montego Bay, where there are temples and community centers. The most notable temple is the Hare Krishna Temple in Montego Bay. Additionally, smaller Hindu communities can be found in other regions, with celebrations and festivals often held in public spaces or community halls. The practice is part of the broader tapestry of cultural and religious diversity in Jamaica.
The second set of people to come to Jamaica were the Spanish, who arrived shortly after Christopher Columbus's discovery of the island in 1494. Following the Spanish, the British took control of Jamaica in the mid-17th century, establishing a colonial presence that would significantly shape the island's history and culture. The island's indigenous Taíno population had already been greatly diminished by disease and colonization by the time the Spanish and later the British arrived.
