                Ceremonies, festivals and rites
                devoted to various deities play
                an important part in the lives of
                  Hindus. Every festival has its
                   own rituals and its rites that
                   need to be observed. At the
                Bhima Puja Festival, for exam-
               ple, Bhima shapes are made out
               of the mud of the River Ganges.
               Hinduism, which is almost a reli-
               gion of rites and rituals, encour-
                ages Hindus to live empty, aim-
                   less and superstitious lives.
              There is no doubt that the losses
                they will suffer in the hereafter
                           will be enormous.
