Question

write about the tradition of Indian religion

Answer 1

Religion in India is characterised by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices. India is a secular state with no state religion. The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of four of the world's major religions; namelyHinduism, Buddhism, Jainism andSikhism. Throughout India's history,religion has been an important part of the country's culture. Religious diversity and religious tolerance are both established in the country by the lawand custom; the Constitution of Indiahas declared the right to freedom of religion to be a fundamental right.[1]

Northwest India was home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, the Indus valley civilisation. Today, India is home to around 90% of the global population of Hindus. Most Hindu shrines and temples are located in India, as are the birthplaces of most Hindu saints.Allahabad hosts the world's largest religious pilgrimage, Kumbha Mela, where Hindus from across the world come together to bathe in the confluence of three sacred rivers of India: the Ganga, the Yamuna, and theSaraswati. The Indian diaspora in the West has popularised many aspects ofHindu philosophy such as yoga,meditation, Ayurvedic medicine,divination, karma, and reincarnation.[2]The influence of Indian religions has been significant all over the world. Several Hindu-based organisations, such as the Hare Krishna movement, the Brahma Kumaris, the Ananda Marga, and others have spread Indian spiritual beliefs and practices.
