The early stages of Hinduism have little information. However, the early stages mainly come from the archaeological findings, such as the earliest known Hindu sculpture, the Vedas. They tell about practical matters, and also spiritual life. They are a great source of the center beliefs, beginning rituals, and Gods of the early Hindus. They also give a great deal of information about the overall history of Hinduism.

The roots of Hinduism gradually emerged through the beliefs and practices of two main groups, the people of the Indus Valley, and the Aryans of Persia. The religion of Hinduism, which we know today, developed from their literature and system for social order. Hinduism has now become the third largest religion in the world.
