Hinduism is the second largest religion in Bangladesh after Islam. It is followed by 8.5% of the population.[1] In terms of population, Bangladesh has the third-largest Hindu population after the Republic of India and Nepal.
In nature, Bangladeshi Hinduism closely resembles the forms and customs of Hinduism practiced in the neighboring Indian state of West Bengal, with which Bangladesh (at one time known as East Bengal) was united with that country until the Partition of India in 1947. The river Ganges is a sacred holy river that flows into the country from India.
