Polytheism. Hinduism is a religion with thousands of deities.
Answer:
Although often sited as a polytheistic religion the Hindu pantheon of gods only represents aspects of the supreme Brahman, Avatars of the supreme being, or significantly powerful entities known as Devas. In this way it is parallel to monotheistic Christianity religion with one god with several aspects, and a pantheon of lesser beings (devils, demons, saints, 6 levels of angels, etc.) who are significantly powerful
Both can be either monotheistic or pantheistic on this basis.
