Hinduism developed over time and has no single founder. It believes in concepts like reincarnation, karma, and moksha. Followers worship gods like Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi through pilgrimages, festivals, and rituals. They believe the world is an illusion and the goal is to achieve moksha by removing karma through spiritual enlightenment. There are thousands of gods seen as manifestations of the single divine force Brahman. The religion is guided by sacred texts like the Vedas and Upanishads and incorporates the caste system.
