People who follow Hinduism are known as Hindus
Hinduism has no founder but developed gradually over time. It starts somewhere between 2300BC and 1500BC in India
Hinduism is a polytheism
Hindus believe that there are only one supreme God, called Brahman. Brahman is eternal, almighty and is the creator of everything in the world
There are three main aspects of Brahman:

-Brahma --- the creator (Has four head and four arms)

-Vishnu --- the preserver (Has blue skin and four arms)

- Shiva --- the destroyer (Has blue skin and carries a trident)

These three Gods together are known as the Trimurti
There are more Gods and Goddesses which all represent different kind of aspects of Brahman. For example:

-Krishna --- God of love

-Indra --- God of rain, thunder and heaven

-Mahadevi --- Goddess of power, energy, strength and protection

-Ganesh --- God of intelligence

Hindus believe in reincarnation. This is a cycle of birth and rebirth. This cycle is called samsara
Our actions in this life affect what happens to us in the next life --- good actions earn positive karma, but bad actions lead to bad karma.
If you build up good karma during a lifetime, you will be born in a better situation in your next life. Oppositly, if you keep building up bad karma, you will end up with sufferings in the next life.
