Title Hinduism Survey

This website was created in July 2011 at an NEH institute entitled “The Literatures, Religions, and Arts of the Himalayan Region” and is my first-ever attempt to create a website.  The content centers on Hinduism and includes classroom activities on various deities, daily practices, and the history of the religion.  There are easy-to-use readings and vocabulary for each of the links.  I hope you enjoy these pages and find them useful!
