Hinduism was introduced to Yemenbyimmigrant Indian and Nepalese workers. Hinduism in Yemen largely goes under the radar, and is only practiced by small congregations scattered around the country. An estimated 150,000 Hindus resided in Yemen in 2010.[1] That number increased to 202,700 (or 0.7% of the population) in 2020.[2]
