Hinduism in Finland is a very minor religious faith. The main established religion in Finland is Christianity, especially Lutheran Christianity. Finland acquired a significant Hindu population for the first time around the turn of the 21st century due to the recruitment of IT workers from India by companies such as Nokia. These is only one known ISKCON temple near Helsinki City centre but it lacks infrastructure and funds most of the time. The Finnish Government has not sanctioned any land for ISKCON or any other kind of Hindu temple.

Some people formed a trust for a Hindu temple project in Finland but without the support of government and other business instutions nothing concrete could be achieved. Hindu festivals like Holi and Diwali have been celebrated in Finland and are gaining more popularity.
