Note
A regular plural, formed with a simple -s, and it belongs to the noun alone. The adjective never inflects, so English says Hindu temples or Hindu festivals, never Hindus temples. Today the plural means followers of Hinduism. In older writing it can also mean the native inhabitants of Hindustan generally, or people grouped by Indian religion and race together, uses that now read as dated.
