Answer:

Origin- Most scholars believe Hinduism started somewhere between 2300 B.C. and 1500 B.C. in the Indus Valley, near modern-day Pakistan. But many Hindus argue that their faith is timeless and has always existed. Unlike other religions, Hinduism has no one founder but is instead a fusion of various beliefs.

Belief- HInduism is considered "the way of life", Most forms of Hinduism are henotheistic, which means they worship a single deity, known as “Brahman,” but still recognize other gods and goddesses. Followers believe there are multiple paths to reaching their god. Food is an important aspect of hinduism, they don't eat beef or pork and most are vegetarian. Hindus revere all living creatures and consider the cow a sacred animal.
