Explanation:

The historical Vedic religion (also known as Vedism or (anachronistically) ancient Hinduism[a]), and subsequent Brahmanism (also called Brahminism), constituted the religious ideas and practices among some of the Indo-Aryan peoples of northwest India and the western Ganges plain of ancient India during the Vedic period (1500–500 BC).[3][4][5][6] These ideas and practices are found in the Vedic texts.
