About UHS

The Umhlanga Hindu Society (UHS) was established to fulfill the religious, cultural, spiritual, charitable and social needs of the Hindu community in Durban North, the greater Umhlanga area, and its surrounds. From humble beginnings that commenced with regular weekly home services, the Umhlanga Hindu Society has grown with the acquisition of its current site in Somerset Park, at the corner of Hambridge Drive and Mt. Edgecombe Drive and the development, management and construction of the place of worship and cultural centre, which in itself, encompasses a unique temple design that caters for both North and South Indian Temple styles.
