- Hinduism, an ancient and multifaceted religion originating in India, encompasses a vast array of beliefs and practices. Key concepts include dharma (righteous living), karma (the law of cause and effect), reincarnation (the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth), and moksha (liberation from the cycle of suffering).
