The Hinduism is an interesting, very vibrant, and flexible religion. It has its origins in the period when the Aryans came to the Indian subcontinent, and they mixed their beliefs with the already existing Dravidian beliefs in the region. So both cultures merged, and created a combination of both cultures and beliefs, so the Hinduism was born. Both, the Aryans and Dravidian's accepted gods from one another, and they made the religion very flexible in practice by creating in a way that is allowing every city, town, village, and even household, to have their own gods and practices.
