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 importance of various Hindu deities and festivals, such as Diwali and Holi, which celebrate themes of wealth, fortune, and the arrival of spring.

In addition to recognizing the cultural and spiritual practices of Hindus, the resolution calls for 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 vibrant Hindu community in New Jersey, which is home to the largest Hindu temple in the world, and to promote awareness of their historical and cultural contributions to the state.
