Answer:

Buddhism

Step-by-step explanation:

After the end of the Cuchana Empire, Buddhism became extremely popular in India during the Gupta dynasty. Several Buddhist centers were created, such as Nalanda in northeastern India, which would become one of the most important Buddhist universities for several centuries, with masters known as Nagarjuna. In the seventh century Indian Buddhism began to decline as a result of the invasions of white Huns and Islam. However, it would have a revival during the time of the Pala empire between the 8th and 12th centuries.
