A Hindu is a follower of Hinduism, one of the world's oldest religions, originating in the Indian subcontinent.
Hinduism is characterized by a variety of beliefs, practices, and rituals, with a focus on concepts such as Dharma (duty/ethics), Karma (action and subsequent reaction), and Moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth).
Hindus may worship a multitude of deities, though there is also room for monotheistic, pantheistic, and atheistic interpretations within the faith.
