brahmanism
Brahmanism is an ancient Indian religious tradition that evolved into Hinduism. It is focused on the worship of the abstract, supreme and eternal entity known as Brahman. This belief system is based on the teachings and scriptures of the Brahmins (the priestly class in the Hindu caste system), including the Vedas and Upanishads. Brahmanism largely emphasizes rituals, rites, and ceremonies performed by the Brahmin priests, alongside the concepts of dharma (duty), karma (action and consequence), and samsara (cycle of rebirth).
