Hinduism: A Brief Description Hinduism is a religion that originated in India in or around 1500 BC. It is a major world religion with more than 700 million followers. It is a very flexible religion with its extraordinary tendency to absorb new ideas. One devotee may worship Vishnu, another may worship Shiva, and yet another Krishna, while honouring the other's choice and feeling no sense of conflict. Page 2:Worship Typical Hindu daily worship includes a stop at several shrines, a visit to the temple, and home worship. A Hindu may be devoted to several gods but there can only be one shrine in the family house and it must be devoted to just one god. To worship another god they must go to the nearby temple. Because everything is sacred in a Hindu's eyes, almost anything may be considered worthy of worship, such as rivers, cow pens, etc. During worship everything must be purified through fire, water, and drawing symbolic diagrams. Depending on a Hindu's class and station, the requirements for worship change. But they must offer food, flowers, and incense to the deity, as well as say the appropriate reading of sacred words or text. Page 3:Festivals: Certain festival days are celebrated throughout the Hindu society on a fixed day according to the Hindu lunar calendar.
