The resolution designates January of each year as Hindu Heritage Month in New Jersey, acknowledging the significant contributions and rich history of the Hindu community within the state. Hinduism, recognized as the world's oldest religion, has a following of over 1.1 billion people globally, with approximately three percent of New Jersey's population identifying as Hindu. The resolution highlights the cultural practices and beliefs of Hindus, including their reverence for various deities and the celebration of important festivals such as Diwali and Holi, which reflect the community's vibrant traditions.

In addition to recognizing the cultural significance of Hinduism, the resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe Hindu Heritage Month through appropriate activities and programs. This initiative aims to honor the contributions of the Hindu community to New Jersey's cultural landscape, including the establishment of the largest Hindu temple in the world, located in Robbinsville, thereby fostering greater awareness and appreciation of Hindu heritage within the state.
