CONCLUSION

 

This survey shows how the different people living in the same city and belonging to the same religion have different views for the religious believes, customs and practices. It also shows how the hindu religion is designed for the good health and morals of the people following the believes and age-old and time-tested practices. Even for the people blindly following the customs, without knowing the reason behind them, they are beneficial.

For us this survey was not only knowing the views of people but also very much informative about our culture, different people and the hindu mythology.
