The WHC, which is scheduled to be held from September 7 to 9, is a "global platform for Hindus to connect, share ideas, inspire one another, and impact the common good. It will offer Hindus an opportunity to introspect towards improvement and tap into their collective resources to seek tangible solutions to the most pressing issues of this age," according to its website.

Held once every four years, WHC's seven parallel conferences will showcase how the values, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of the global Hindu community find expression in a variety of spheres, including economic, education, media, organisational, and political, as well as the unique leadership and contributions of Hindu women and youth, said the website.
