About 20-25 years ago, Indian families who had migrated to Brussels (Belgium) use to gather together in a local church or school to worship and celebrate Maa Durga Jaagran. These families nurtured a dream to build and maintain a full fledged Hindu Mandir in Brussels. Although it seemed a far behind idea back then, over the years the Indian community grew and the Hindu Mandir Association held fundraisers to build the Mandir. Through patience and planning, the soft opening ceremony for the Brussels Mandir was performed on 19th February 2012 with donation from the Indian community of Brussels who ardently wished to make this dream a reality.
