Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize October 2021 as Hindu Heritage Month.

Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world. With 3 million devotees in the United States, Georgia's First Congressional District is home to many Hindu followers. The Hindu heritage, culture, and traditions serve as a source of inspiration for the individuals who look to the teachings of Hinduism for guidance.

The Hindu-American community has contributed tremendously to our community, enriching the lives of our citizens. As doctors, lawyers, artists, business leaders, and government officials, the Hindu community has contributed immensely to the State of Georgia and our great Nation. This month the Hindu community will celebrate their heritage by focusing on their culture and the traditions rooted in India.

Madam Speaker, I call upon my colleagues to join me in recognizing October as Hindu Heritage Month 2021.

To those celebrating, I wish all a joyous celebration of Hindu Heritage Month 2021.
