Divinità induiste

Le divinità induiste sono le forme divine adorate nell'Induismo, la religione dominante del subcontinente indiano.

Questa religione, nella sua forma moderna, si compone di tre grandi tradizioni: shivaismo, vishnuismo e shaktismo, i cui seguaci considerano rispettivamente Shiva, Visnù o la Shakti (quest'ultima chiamata anche Devi) come esser la divinità suprema.

L'induismo viene considerata la religione più antica (Ur-religion) esistente al mondo e i suoi praticanti si riferiscono ad essa come all'eterna legge (Sanatana Dharma).
