Yamato rulers established a shrine near the coast for a religion known as Hindu in the 5th century.

A True
B False

Answer 1

The Yamato rulers did not establish a Hindu shrine in the 5th century.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is False.

The Yamato rulers were a powerful clan in ancient Japan who established a centralized government. They practiced the Shinto religion, not Hinduism. Shinto is an indigenous religion to Japan, while Hinduism originated in the Indian subcontinent. The Yamato rulers built shrines called jinja, not temples, to worship the kami (spirits) of nature and ancestors.
