🪔 Manchester Hindu Society

A home away from home. A community for everyone.

Namaste and welcome to Manchester Hindu Society! 🌸

Also known as NHSF Manchester, we are a student-led society dedicated to bringing students together through Hindu culture, spirituality, education, sport and social events.

Our aim is to create a friendly and inclusive “home away from home” where students can meet new people, celebrate our culture, learn about Hinduism and make lasting memories throughout their university experience.

Whether you are Hindu, from another faith, or simply curious to learn more, everyone is welcome.

 

🌺 What We Do

Throughout the academic year, we organise a wide range of weekly, monthly and one-off events, giving students plenty of opportunities to get involved.

🪔 Culture, Faith & Spirituality

Our society provides opportunities to connect with Hindu traditions, spirituality and culture through:

• Weekly aartis and prayers
• Educational talks and presentations
• Discussions exploring Hindu philosophy, traditions and values
• Celebrations of major Hindu festivals, including Diwali, Navratri, Holi and more
• Cultural workshops and activities

Whether you’re deeply familiar with Hinduism or just beginning to explore it, our events are open and welcoming to everyone.

 

🏆 Sport & Competition

Sport is a huge part of Manchester Hindu Society, bringing students together through teamwork, competition and plenty of friendly rivalry!

We run and support five main sports, with opportunities for students of all abilities to get involved:

🏃 Kho
One of our key sporting activities, combining speed, agility, teamwork and strategy.

🏸 Badminton
From casual games to more competitive sessions, there’s an opportunity for everyone to pick up a racket and get involved.

⚽ Football
Join fellow students for regular football activities, matches and competitive games.

🏐 Netball
A great way to stay active, meet new people and represent the society.

🏏 Cricket
From casual sessions to competitive games, cricket is an important part of our sporting calendar.

🤝 Kabaddi

We also support and facilitate Kabaddi through the society, following the same team-based format and providing another opportunity to experience one of India’s most exciting traditional sports.

Whether you’re experienced, completely new to a sport, or simply looking for something fun to do with friends, there’s a place for you.

 

🎉 Social Events

University is about more than lectures and assignments!

Our social calendar gives students the chance to meet new people, make friends and enjoy themselves outside of university work.

Throughout the year, we organise events such as:

🎬 Movie Nights
🎲 Games Nights
🤝 Socials & Meet-ups
🎭 Cultural Activities
🎊 Festival Celebrations
✨ And plenty more!

You don’t need to know anyone before coming along — our events are a great way to meet people and become part of the community.

 

✨ Our Flagship Events

Alongside our regular activities, we organise larger events throughout the academic year.

🏛️ The Ayodhya Ball

One of the highlights of our calendar, the Ayodhya Ball brings students together for an evening celebrating Diwali.

Alongside the Ayodhya Ball, we host and participate in a variety of larger celebrations throughout the year, including Holi, Navratri and other cultural events.

 

❤️ More Than Just a Society

At the heart of Manchester Hindu Society is community.

We aim to create a space where students can connect with their culture, explore their faith, make friendships and feel at home, while also welcoming people from all backgrounds.

Our activities also allow us to engage with the wider Manchester community, helping to share Hindu culture, traditions and values with both Hindu and non-Hindu students.
