Punjabi Hindus (Punjabi: ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਹਿੰਦੂ; romanized: Pañjābī Hindū) are ethnic Punjabis who are adherents of Hinduism; they constitute the third-largest religious subdivision within the Punjabi people, after Muslims and Sikhs, with a population numbering around 17 to 25 million. Punjabi Hindus are the second-largest religious group in the Indian state of Punjab. Apart from Punjab, they are also found in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, and Chandigarh today. Many of them have ancestry across the Punjab region as a whole, which was partitioned between India and Pakistan in 1947.
