It comprises five major sects or denominations, Vaishnavism, Brahmanism, Saurism, Shaktism, Shaivism, whose followers consider Vishnu, Brahma, Surya, Shakti (Devi) and Shiva to be the Supreme deity respectively.

Hinduism has been called the "oldest religion" in the world, and many practitioners refer to Hinduism as "the eternal law".. Given below is a list of the chief Hindu deities followed by a list of minor Hindu deities .
