Wrong question.
The question should be this:
What does it mean when Christians pray, putting their hands together like Hindus do?
The reason for the rephrasing of the question is simple: which came first, Hinduism or Christianity.
We know that Christianity has existed for less than 2000 years; that much is an established and incontrovertible fact.
Research into the civilizations of the Indian subcontinent (the Indus valley, e.g. Harappan, etc) indicates that although we cannot be certain that Hinduism is more than 2000 years older than Christianity, it certainly predates it by many centuries.

It depends on what religion you believe in. Like for example, if you believe in God. Then you'd get on your knees, put your hands together and pray. In this kind of prayer, there aren't any steps just pray. At least that's what I think. Your opinion will answer the question.
It appears there may be a typo in your question. If you meant to ask about "hymn hands," it is a term used to describe the gesture some people make during worship or singing hymns by placing their hands together, with palms touching or fingers intertwined, in a posture of reverence or prayer.
