Hinduism is not exactly polytheistic, because the term ‘Hinduism’ itself is an arbitrarily constructed concept.

The Bhagavad-Gita, the main scripture of what we know today as Hinduism, is deeply monotheistic, and echoes that declaration throughout its length.

Hinduism is not exactly polytheistic . . .

Nor is Hinduism exactly monotheistic. Would be an enjoyable discussion to follow should it come up elsewhere in a more suitable topic.

If Hinduism as practiced is not polytheistic, then the word has no meaning.
