Calendar of Hindu Festivals and Religious Occasions in 2025

Hinduism, the world’s third largest religion with more than a billion followers, is believed to be one of the world’s oldest organized religions. Hinduism has no single prophet, no single scripture, and not any one set of religious rites. Most Hindus worship one or more deities, believe in rebirth and value the practice of meditation.

Hindu sacred texts are regarded as the most ancient religious texts. The primary sacred texts of Hinduism are the Vedas: Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. Most popular Hindu scriptures are the Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita and Ramayan.

“When you hear about the Self, meditate upon the Self,
and finally realize the Self…
you come to understand everything in life.” ~ Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 4.5
