Visit a temple in India and learn about Hinduism

Hinduism is considered to be one of the world’s oldest religions, dating back to more than 4000 years. With around 900 million followers, it is the world’s third most followed religion behind Islam and Christianity. 95% of the world’s followers of Hinduism live in India.

Whilst Hinduism includes 33 million deities with myriad forms, most Hindus focus their devotion on some whom they regard as supreme. The greatest deities have complex natures and are shown in art in a variety of forms and situations from narratives. Hindu worship is called “puja”. Followers either worship at home (most Hindu households have a shrine with idols and pictures of deities) or in temples dedicated to certain gods or goddesses.
