He sit under the Bodhi Tree, inside the Mahabodhi Temple, with all his family around.. Shiva, Rama and Hanuman. It's interesting view . Why?. Because Mahabodhi temple is big pilgrim place for buddhist, but you can still found many stone of Hindu God.
Not far from there, a group of buddhist monks chant mantra and meditate.
They let Hindu God have a space there. It's because of history behind. Mahabodhi Temple build by Hindu King, Ashoka. Before he convert to be Buddha follower. This is a sign of respect for a journey of faith.
For me it's Beautifuly look.
What do you think..?,
Are you will abble, to give some space and let the other God stand on your own religion area?.
Ashok was a Hindu who adopted Buddhism after the war of Kalinga.

DeleteHindu is a geographical distinction, the religion you are referring to is called Brahminism and it didnt exist at the time of Asoka. Brahmins came after 11th century. This is why we dont find any evidence of their existence nor Ahoka ever mentioned any religion like that. Also is a society which was eagalitarian can Brahman dharm and its varna-shrama survive? Neither Brahmins nor Brahminism existed pre 11th century.
