According to scholars, around 2300- 1500 BCE, Hinduism was formed.

It
was believed to have originated in the Indus Valley or also known as modern day
Pakistan. Most Hindus believe that their faith has always existed according to
bbc.

Hinduism is often referred to as a “Way of Life” because it embraces

multiple religious ideas. In other words, it is a fusion of various other beliefs.

Hinduism is mostly henotheistic; they only worship one deity but can and
may recognize different gods and goddesses. The Hindus also believe in a trinity
comprising of Brahma (creator), Shiva (destroyer), and Vishnu (preserver). They
also value several sacred writings.

Around 1500 BCE, their primary texts known as the vedas were created.
Vedas were believed to have no beginning and no end. The “Vedic period” as
they would call it, lasted for about 1500- 500 BCE.

One of the highlights of this religion is the belief in soul or also known as
“Atman”. Moreover, An example of one basic principle for Hinduism is the idea
that a person’s thoughts and actions will determine the course of their current
and next lives. They base it in the samsara doctrines, which talk about the
constant cycle of life, death, and resurrection. In connection, they also believe in
karma, which is the universal law of cause and effect. The ultimate goal for
Hinduism is to achieve salvation, or “Moshka”. With “Moshka”, the cycle of
rebirth ends so as one to unite with the absolute soul. Accroding to beliefnet, In
order to end the cycle of rebirth, worship of god or gods is needed. Doing good
is also in play for the whole process to work, Lastly, one must live according to
the dharma. While they believe in these procedures, some Hindus believe that
salvation may be also possible through the grace that is granted only through
and from a forgiving god.
 For Catholics, the place of worship is the church. For Muslims, it is the
iconic mosque. For Hindus, it is the mandir. Hindus may visit the mandir
anytime. Giving offerings such as flowers and oil are also important for the
Hindus.

Just like any other religion, Hinduism also has its sacred days. Some of
these days are “Diwali” or the festival of lights, “Janmashtami” or the birthday of
Krishna (diety), “Navaratri” or the celebration of fertility and harvest, and
“Mahashivaratri” or the great festival of Shiva.
