PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Hinduism is the dominant religion, or way of life, in South Asia, most notably in India and Nepal. Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, it is a family of linked religious cultures bound by shared concepts, recognisable rituals, cosmology, shared textual resources, pilgrimage to sacred sites and the questioning of authority

Even some vegetables are considered taboo by Orthodox Hindus who do not eat onion, garlic, turnips, or mushrooms. Meats Eaten: Those that do eat meat, eat it in small amounts with starches such as rice or bread. The main meat consumed by Hindu non-vegetarians is goat while some enjoy lamb or buffalo.
Hindu worship is primarily an individual act rather than a communal one, as it involves making personal offerings to the deity. Worshippers repeat the names of their favourite gods and goddesses, and repeat mantras. Water, fruit, flowers and incense are offered to god.
