Answer 1

Adoption of Buddhism as state religion of the Gupta Empire

Answer 2

• Adoption of Buddhism as state religion of the Gupta Empire

Step-by-step explanation:

Amid the Gupta dynasty (fourth to sixth century), Mahayana Buddhism turned progressively ritualistic, while Buddhist ideas were embraced into Hindu schools. The contrasts among Buddhism and Hinduism obscured, and Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and other Hindu conventions turned out to be progressively well known, while Brahmins built up another association with the state.

As the system developed, Buddhist religious communities step by step lost control of land income. In parallel, the Gupta rulers manufactured Buddhist sanctuaries, for example, the one at Kushinagara, and religious colleges, for example, those at Nalanda, as prove by records left by three Chinese guests to India.
