Hindu Monastery of Africa located at Odorkor in Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It is the first African hindu monastery and was established in 1975 by Swami Ghanananda.[1] A branch of the Hindu Monastery of Africa has been established in Togo.[2]
Swami Ghananand Saraswati has set up five temples in Ghana which have been the cornerstone of the African Hindu Monastery (AHM).[citation needed] The Indian community in Ghana participates in the AHM, but also has its own temples (most for the Sindhi community).[3]
