hindu affiliation
Directly connected with the Hindu faith or operated by an organization belonging to it.
A Hindu affiliation is applied to a place (other than a mandir) that has a direct connection with, or belongs to, the Hindu faith.
The direct connection concerns the Hindu faith. Belonging to that faith can characterize a place whose primary activity is not worship.
A mandir already identifies a Hindu worship place. This affiliation concerns the religious connection of other kinds of places.
