The governance of religious diversity in cities involves various actors on different levels, including state and municipal institutions, religious associations, and religious practitioners themselves. In this chapter, I ask how Hindus contribute to the cities of Paris and Singapore, their diversity, and its governance. I approach these questions through a focus on their material and bodily ways of contributing to the cities. Considering how the Singaporean and French secular states deal with religious diversity, and how the parallels and differences between what is often perceived as Singaporean multiculturalist and French laicist approaches play out with regards to Hinduism, I examine what possibilities and challenges Hindus face in both cities and how they themselves contribute to urban diversity governance. I argue that religious practitioners actively contribute to the urban fabric through their installations of temples, the conduct of festivals, and through their bodies. Their subtle ways of self-governance of diversity include what I call “sidewalk religion”, indoor sacred atmospheres, and meticulous crowd management. My perspectives stem from anthropological fieldwork conducted in Singapore and Paris, and remotely online, between 2019 and 2023.
