How does one define a faith that refuses to be contained in any strait jacket? While the common understanding is that it is a set of beliefs that originated in ancient India and is particular to the inhabitants of that part of the world over centuries, Hinduism extends beyond historical narrative and reaches into the mythical episodes of human understanding.
While the outside appearances of temples, theories of reincarnation, an impersonal Brahman and preponderance of deities, divinities and rituals can easily identify the Hindu way of life, it is easy to notice strong differences and seemingly opposing viewpoints existing cheek by jowl.
North India has some of the holiest cities in India like Varanasi (also known at Benaras or Kashi), Haridwar & Rishikesh, Mathura & Vrindavan. It also has some of the holiest temples like Kedarnath temple, Badrinath temple, Mata Vaishnoo Devi temple and many more.
