The holiest river is the **Ganges**.

Hinduism is based on the concept of **samsara**, in which all living beings, from plants to gods, live in a cycle of living and dying.

**Karma** is the belief that good actions will result in good, and bad actions will cause bad.

Major deities (gods) in Hinduism include: **Brahma** (the creator), **Vishnu** (the preserver), **Shiva** (the destroyer), and **Durga** (a goddess representing strength).

The **varna system** puts people into groups based on occupation. The highest are the **Brahmins**, then the **Kshatriyas**, then the **Vaishyas**, and lastly the **Shudras**.

Occupations that typically belong in each caste include:

- **Brahmins**: Priests, scholars, and teachers
- **Kshatriyas**: Warriors and rulers
- **Vaishyas**: Merchants and landowners
- **Shudras**: Servants and laborers

This structure reflects traditional roles within Hindu society, although the application and rigidity of the caste system have evolved over time.
