" “Monotheism refers to the belief in or worship of one being or God while polytheism refers to the beliefs and worship of many Gods and beings. The Hindu tradition can be both monotheistic and polytheistic depending on its followers, philosophy, and the different sects. While most believe in a Supreme being, the Brahma, there are also many local Gods who take on different forms and genders (Narayanan 281). The Supreme being can also be Shiva, Vishnu or a female goddess depending on the sect. Although the rituals and traditions followed by practitioners of Hinduism vary considerably based on their location, language, and culture, they are united by a general adherence to Hindu scriptures such as the Vedas and Upanishads. “
