Evolution of Hinduism in India "Priest King" of Indus Valley Civilisation Hinduism is often regarded as the oldest religion in the world,[11] with roots tracing back to prehistoric times,[12] or 5,000 years. Over time, Brahmanism gradually became Hinduism. Hinduism was spread through parts of Southeastern Asia, China, Korea, and Japan. Hindus worship a god with different forms.[13] Evidence attesting to prehistoric religion in the Indian "subcontinent" derives from scattered Mesolithic rock paintings depicting dances and rituals. Neolithic pastoralists inhabiting the Indus River Valley buried their dead in a manner suggestive of spiritual practices that incorporated notions of an afterlife and belief in magic.[14] Other South Asian Stone Age sites, such as the Bhimbetka rock shelters in central Madhya Pradesh and the Kupgal petroglyphs of eastern Karnataka, contain rock art portraying religious rites and evidence of possible ritualized music.[15] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_India
