Syncretism

One of the things I like most about India so far, in addition to the kindness and generosity of the people, is the religious tolerance. Much of what we in the West call "Asian Religions" is based in Ancient Indian beliefs. Check out some Hindu sacred texts. Tolerance and syncretism are two characteristics of Indian religions. Here is an image of Jesus Christ inside a Hindu temple in Bagsu Nag.
