Melbourne is home to over 400,000 Indians, making Victoria's Indian community the second-largest in Australia. Box Hill, Dandenong, Point Cook, and Werribee host thriving Indian communities, while the CBD's Bourke Street and Elizabeth Street corridor is dotted with Indian restaurants, grocery stores, and jewellers. The BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Campbellfield and the Sri Vakrathunda Vinayagar Temple in St Albans are community landmarks.
