The Hindu and Sikh communities in Korea are small but active, primarily based in Seoul. For Hindus, the Hindu Society of Korea organizes regular temple services and cultural events. The main Hindu temple in Seoul is located in the Dongdaemun area and holds puja services, especially around major festivals like Diwali and Navratri. Connecting through their Facebook group or reaching out to the Embassy of India in Seoul is a reliable way to find current schedules and community gatherings.

For Sikhs, there is a Gurdwara in Seoul that holds regular services including Langar and is welcoming to all, including those unfamiliar with Sikh traditions. The Sikh community here is closely connected to the broader South Asian expatriate network in Korea.

Both communities use the Indian Association of Korea as a wider network, and they maintain contacts across the country including Busan and Daegu, though events outside Seoul are less frequent. Staying connected through social media groups is the most practical way to find activities and meet community members if you are not based in Seoul. The Indian Embassy website also lists registered cultural and religious organizations that can point you in the right direction.
