Spirituality is an integral part of Indian culture and lifestyle. India is the birthplace of several major world religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The concept of "dharma" (righteous living) and "moksha" (liberation) is central to Indian spirituality. Yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, are some of the ways in which Indians seek to balance body, mind, and spirit. The revered Ganges River, considered sacred by Hindus, is a symbol of spiritual purification and renewal.
