                          HINDU HERITAGE MONTH

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  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.
