Like I said in the last post, India's dominant religions are Hinduism and Islam. India also has significant minorities of Buddhists, Sikhs, Christians, and Jains. However, in most fields, HInduism is the dominant religion. India's major Hindu celebrations include Holi (Spring Festival), Ganesh Chaturti (Lord Ganesha's birthday),
Krishna Janmashtami (Lord Krishna's birthday), and the biggest holiday in India: Diwali (Festival of Lights). The Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr is also a national holiday. Most HIndus recognize the Ganges and the Yamuna rivers as sacred rivers.
India is the birthplace of several religions, among them Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism. Christianity spread to India because of the Europeans. India's religions ranked in terms of most followers in India are HInduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism.
