Hinduism in the Maldives

Evidence suggests that Hinduism may have had a presence in the ancient Maldives. Hinduism may have existed during the pre-Buddhist and Buddhist period of the islands but disappeared sometime later during the latter period. Traces of its influences are still found in modern Maldivian culture and art.
