ResumoAbstract Whilst the settlement history of Hindustanis in the Netherlands has been relatively well researched, there is no scholarly literature on specific local communities. In this article one specific community is introduced and studied with special attention to its newly built temple. It is argued that having a purpose-built temple causes various shifts in ritual strategies, as well as in representational politics.
