Religion & Spirituality
As Annie Besant puts it “India is a country in which every great religion finds a home.” India is a country where people of all religions coexist and celebrate each other. India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. Islam and Christianity are two religions practiced in India but came to India from abroad.
Hinduism & Buddhism
Both these religions are based on karma (what you do), moksha (liberation), reincarnation, nirvana (enlightenment), and dharma (the right way of living). They also follow the practice of meditation (dhyanam, samadhi) and yoga. More than being a religion Hinduism and Buddhism are the ways of life. Hindu originally meant living on the banks of the river Indus. Buddhism founded by Siddhartha Gautama shows people how to live truthfully and spiritually to attain nirvana.

Festivals & Celebrations
Art & Expressions:
We have read about how each state and each religion has its celebrations and festivals. The same is true for art forms. Each state has its art, music, and dance forms. For example, Bharatanatyam is the famous dance form of South India while we have Kathak in Northern India and Odissi in East India. The South Indians have Carnatic Music while the Northern States have Hindustani music. Similarly, there are art forms associated with religions. In Kerala Hindu temples hold Theyyam, Kathakali, Krishnan Attam, etc, while Christians have Margam Kali, Chavitt Nadakam etc. Muslims also have their art forms such as Oppana, Mappila Paattu, Duff Muttu, Arabana Muttu, etc. to name a few. Each state also has its differentiating painting techniques such as Madhubani Painting from Bihar, Tanjore Painting from Tamil Nadu, Mural Painting from Kerala, and Block Printing from Rajasthan.
