The ritualistic traditions of Vedic religion are preserved in the conservative Śrauta tradition, with the significant exception of animal sacrifice, which was mostly abandoned by the end of the Vedic period, possibly under the influence of Buddhist and Jain criticism of such practices of the Vedic religion and alleged indulgences by priests.
