Hinduism Feature Writer: Harsh Nevatia

Starting from its origins in Paganism in the early Vedic era to its evolution as a monotheistic religion with a multitude of deities. Marvel at the mysticism of the Vedas and the Upanishads, listen to the tales from the Puranas and the epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata.

Get immersed in the devotion of the poet-saints like Mirabai and Tulsidas and understand the pearls of wisdom from seers like Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. See Hinduism reflected in the Jyotirlinga temples, in the poetic Geet Govinda of Jayadeva and in the Mewari and Pahari paintings.
