Hinduism is the world's oldest living faith. This book explores what it means to be a Hindu. It explains the rites associated with birth, marriage and death; the importance of the family; customs and taboos; holy places and shrines. It takes us inside a Hindu temple, and describes the festivals of the Hindu calendar, showing how the worship of 330 million different gods is not incompatible with belief in one Supreme Being.
