About ICSIJ

Jamaica is the home to a melting pot of people in which we Indians add our spice and flavour. Jamaica welcomes our culture with pressed hands and a "Namaste" because we Indians are part of the "Out of Many, One People." The Indian Culture Society in Jamaica wishes to acknowledge the Desi footprint left on Jamaican soil by highlighting the very best that Indian culture has to offer. 

You can ask any Kingstonian about Indian food and they will answer with the whole menu! Indian food may be the most well-received part of the culture why wouldn't it? . The unique blend of spices, the variety of dishes and the stunning presentation helps bring together the peoples of Jamaica under one roof to dine like Rajas.

If food is not enough to convince you, then the religious gatherings definitely will. Indians observe the variety of festivals, occasions and traditions and what better way is there to show praise than to visit a temple? Jamaica is home to temples such as the Sanatan Dharma Mandir and Prema Satsangh Mandir. These temples are home to beautiful and photorealistic idols and are decorated with flowers, sweets and the aroma of diyas and incense. The mood of reverence is awe-inspiring.
