Belgium's main Hindu temples are Brussels Mandir in Evere, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Antwerp and ISKCON Radhadesh near Durbuy, with smaller ISKCON centres in Brussels and Antwerp and a purpose-built Hindu temple still under construction. The Sikh community has its gurdwaras mainly in Limburg, and Antwerp has a Jain temple. Every detail below comes from each place's own website or the source named beside it, checked on 21 October 2026.
Listing a temple, gurdwara or centre here does not mean it is a partner of, or endorses, NRI Hearts. Times change, especially around festivals: check with the place itself before you go.

Hoepertingen, Limburg
Other gurdwaras are reported in Sint-Truiden (Gurdwara Sangat Sahib, 1993), Vilvoorde, Borgloon, Alken, Liège, Ghent, Antwerp and Ostend (Wikipedia). We could not confirm their current opening times from an official website, so contact them through the community before visiting or arranging an Anand Karaj.
Wilrijk, Antwerp
We found no official website for the centre; the times above come from the Jain Mandir directory, so please phone ahead (+32 3 336 12 13).
Estimates range from about 7,900 to 40,000. The Association of Religion Data Archives counted about 7,900 in 2015; the Hindu Forum of Belgium estimated 40,000 in 2023, about half of them Western converts (both as cited by Wikipedia). We found no official government figure. The wider Indian community, of every faith, is about 35,000 people (Embassy of India, Brussels).
In Belgium the civil marriage at the town hall must take place before any religious ceremony (Flemish government), so a temple or gurdwara wedding is always the second step. What the places above say on their own websites:

Only as a religious ceremony after the civil marriage: in Belgium the civil marriage at the town hall must take place before any religious one. Brussels Mandir lists priests who perform pujas, including for marriages; ISKCON Radhadesh offers other samskaras such as name-giving and Upanayana, but does not list weddings. Ask the temple directly.
