Hinduism, just like the other eastern religions, believes in the Law of Karma. The Law of Karma states - as you sow, so shall you reap. So Hinduism believes that when we die, our Karmas are not settled. The Karmas don't belong to the body but to the one who was alive which we think is the Mind and Ego, the ME. So Hinduism believes that while the body dies, the ME is reborn in a new body based on Karma and that is what is our afterlife. Hinduism, just like Buddhism, believes that this cycle of death and rebirth continues and we go on experiencing afterlife based on our Karma. What is the way out of this? It is called Nirvana or Moksha, it is Liberation or Salvation. This is attained when we realize the Truth that we are not the body, we are not even the mind and ego that we appear to be, we are the Divine Spirit, we are the Soul. If we realize this then we are liberated and united with God.

In Hinduism, afterlife depends upon their present life's karmas. If one does good things those mentioned in epics and puranas and offer prayers to god, will help him reach heaven or else he will likely spend another life in this kali yuga.
In Hinduism, keeping the clothes of a deceased person is significant because it is believed to help the soul of the departed person during their journey to the afterlife. The clothes act as a form of protection and comfort for the soul as it transitions to the next realm.
The concept of afterlife varies significantly across cultures and religions. In many belief systems, such as Christianity and Islam, the afterlife is seen as a place of reward or punishment based on one's actions during life, with heaven and hell as common destinations. In contrast, some Eastern religions, like Hinduism and Buddhism, view the afterlife as part of a cycle of rebirth, where the soul is reincarnated based on karma. Overall, the afterlife serves as a framework for moral behavior and understanding existence beyond physical life.
