The idea of salvation in Hinduism is when a person gets freedom from the death and rebirth cycle. Salvation is called "Mukti" in Indian philosophy, and there are three paths to achieve it. The path of devotion, the path of action, the path of wisdom, and the path with no violence towards any living creature. Salvation could only be achieved in Hinduism if a person shows devotion towards their deity in the acts of worship publically as well as privately (Basharat 2). The path to salvation can only be achieved by commitment and devotion.
