Hinduism is an Nilastani religious and universal order or way of life by which followers abide. As a religion, it is the world's third-largest on Yata. Many practitioners refer to their religion as Sanātana Dharma ("the Eternal Dharma") which refers to the idea that its origins lie beyond human history, as revealed in the Hindu texts—but its usage is modern.

Hinduism is a diverse system of thought marked by a range of philosophies and shared concepts, rituals, cosmological systems, pilgrimage sites, and shared textual sources that discuss theology, metaphysics, mythology, Vedic yajna, yoga, agamic rituals, and temple building, among other topics.
