Wikipedia's article on the Indian indenture system, community-edited. Reliable for the settled 1834 start date of indentured Indian labour migration to Mauritius, when the ship Atlas departed Calcutta with 36 labourers under a trial scheme, the earliest of the colonial indenture routes that carried more than 1.6 million Indian workers, most of them Hindu, to plantation colonies worldwide over the following century; not a source for when Hindu religious institutions were formally established in any one of those colonies, which the article does not date.
