Hinduism is a minority religion in Korea. There are 24,414 Indians in South Korea, most of whom are Hindus.[1] Through Buddhism, it has also had an indirect impact on certain aspects of traditional Korean thought.[citation needed] The Four Heavenly Kings that can be seen in Korean Buddhist temples originated from the Lokapālas. Also Skanda, Daeyejeok Geumgang, Sakra, Yama and Brahma were worshipped.
