*************

Hinduism is the dominant religion^[1][2] of the Indian subcontinent, particularly of India and Nepal. It includes Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Smartism among numerous other traditions. Among other practices and philosophies, Hinduism includes a wide spectrum of laws and prescriptions of ""daily morality"" based on karma, dharma, and societal norms. Hinduism is a categorisation of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid, common set of beliefs.^[3]

Hinduism consists of many diverse traditions and has no single founder.^[4] Among its direct roots is the historical Vedic religion of Iron Age India.^[5] As such, Hinduism is often called the ""oldest living religion""^[6] or the ""oldest living major religion"" in the world.^[1][7][8][9] Since Vedic times, a process of Sanskritization has been taking place, in which ""people from many strata of society throughout the subcontinent tended to adapt their religious and social life to Brahmanic norms"".^[10]

Hindu texts are classified into Sruti (""revealed"") and Smriti (""remembered""). These texts discuss theology, philosophy, mythology, Vedic yajna and agamic rituals and temple building, among other topics.^[5] Major scriptures include the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Manusmriti, Bhagavad Gita and Agamas.^[5]

Hinduism, with about one billion followers^[11] (950 million estimated in India),^[12] is the world's third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam
