The Florida House of Representatives has introduced a resolution designating November 2026 as "Hindu-American Heritage Month" in the state. This resolution acknowledges the significant presence of approximately 219,916 Hindu Americans in Florida and highlights the cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity they contribute to the state. The year 2026 is particularly notable as it marks the 133rd anniversary of Hinduism's introduction to the United States by Swami Vivekananda at the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions, as well as the 126th anniversary of the founding of the Vedanta Society in San Francisco.

The resolution also emphasizes the contributions of Hindu Americans, who are recognized for their high educational attainment and active engagement in community service through charitable efforts. It notes the celebration of various Hindu festivals, including Diwali, which symbolizes the victory of good over evil. By adopting this resolution, the Florida House of Representatives aims to promote awareness and understanding of the Hindu-American community and honor their contributions to the state.
