Religions - Hinduism Quizzes

About Hinduism

Hinduism is a major world religion that began in the Indian subcontinent and is followed by over a billion people today. It includes many traditions, stories and ways of worship, but it is united by big ideas such as living with purpose, learning from experience and treating others with respect. Our Specialist Hinduism quizzes are written by educators to make those ideas clear, accurate and easy to revise.

These quizzes are ideal for school study, home learning and general knowledge. They help learners recognise key vocabulary, understand core beliefs, and place festivals, scriptures and deities into context. Because Hinduism is not centred on a single founder or one fixed set of rules, learners often find it easier when topics are broken into short, focused steps. That is exactly what this section does.

If you are starting out, begin with broad understanding in The Basics of Hinduism. Explore sacred writing and how it is used in Vedas, Purānas and Upaniṣads. Learn how stories teach values in Mahābhārata - The Epic, and build confidence with key names and concepts using Dashavatar.

For official guidance that helps schools understand Religious Education requirements, see GOV.UK: Religious education (RE) and collective worship in academies and free schools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hinduism one religion or many?

Hinduism is often described as a family of traditions. Some people worship different deities or follow different practices, but many share key ideas such as Dharma, Karma and the cycle of life.

What should I learn first if I am new to Hinduism?

Start with everyday concepts and simple definitions, then add detail. Try a beginner quiz, note new words, then repeat a few days later so the vocabulary and meanings stick.

Are these quizzes suitable for school revision?

Yes. They are written to be clear and classroom-friendly, helping learners recall key terms, beliefs and stories. They work well for quick homework checks and topic refreshers.

How can parents help without being an expert?

Encourage short sessions and talk about what each answer means. Ask your child to explain a new word in their own way, then use another quiz later in the week for spaced practice.
