Folk Hinduism
Folk Hinduism which includes the Native Dravidian religion differs slightly from folk Islam or folk Christianity, as the term Hinduism itself was coined in the 19th century as an umbrella term for all folk religion practiced in India. But today, folk Hinduism ("Indian folk religion" or "popular Hinduism") may still be distinguished from "high" forms of Hindu philosophy, or mystical or ascetic forms. Folk Hinduism is emphatically polytheistic.
