Community lifeThere are nearly 100 Hindu families in Malta that practise their Hindu faith, but there are no Hindu temples and the Hindu deceased are often buried in Malta instead of being cremated.{{cn|date=September 2018}} There is a Maltese-Indian Community Centre in Triq Bella Vista, San Gwann that serves as a base for religious meetings. This community also organises an annual Diwali ball with live performances and celebrations.[3] Hindus in Malta celebrate Diwali, Holi[4] Onam[5] and other Hindu festivals. Official recognition of HinduismHinduism and Judaism are recognised as cults but not as religions in Malta. In 2010, Hindu and Jewish groups urged Pope Benedict XVI to intervene to ensure that Malta treats all religions equally before the law.[1], but the Pope did not intervene. Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, and Rabbi Jonathan B. Freirich, a Jewish leader in California and Nevada in the US, said in a statement in Nevada that he believed the Catholic Church in Malta was not serious about sharing the minority religious viewpoint, and that he was disappointed that they did not want to discuss issues of religious equality with minority religions and denominations.[6] See also
