The Hindoo Mystery was an exhibit at Olentangy Park's Colonnade[1] that operated in 1908.

That year, the Columbus Evening Dispatch reported that a "genuine Hindoo, 'T'Ishi, the wizard of India," performed at the "new Fantasma." The performance included "Hindoo occultism and necromancy," the power of suggestion on audience members, magic acts, and an escape act where he'd escape from a large black bag and ropes. It replaced the Fantasma exhibit.[2]

The building for Fantasma was listed separately from the Colonnade, but postcard images show "The Hindoo Mystery" in the center of the Colonnade[1] where the Egyptian Mystery is seen in an earlier postcard photo.
