We can clearly see that from kanishka coin that there is Buddha written. All Chinese monks travellers
Also wrote it. Kanishka was the follower of mahayana buddhist folllower. He was not Hindu king
Hindu name it self was given latter of Muslim invaders. @BharadwajSpeaks
If you see Mahayana-Vajrayana-
Tantryana Buddhism you can see trishul.
Trishul meaning- Trisharan Buddha, Dhamma, Sangh. It's been stolen from Buddhism and later added to the mythical character Shiva. [Thread]
On seeing the trident in the hand, people are told to tell the idol of Shiva.
It's a habit. But today's idol of #Shiva is from Tantravehicle [Buddhism] example of how it has evolved, the statue below
can be seen from below which Dhammachak is also built [Thread]
There is also a trident in his hand. Remember Shiva and Shakti in sculpture
The idol evolved from Tantrayan itself and today people call it Hindu.
The deity is sitting. Today's manure of #Hinduism (Brahmin religion)
Water is the distorted Vajrayana Tantrayana of the Buddha Path.
This foreigner #brahmins will always misguide the people of India. @BharadwajSpeaks just show me single evidence that kansika was not buddhist.?
Huvishka was the son of Kanishka. His reign is also
known as the golden age of Kushan rule.The #reign of Huvishka
corresponds to the first known epigraphic evidence of the Buddha
Amitabha,on the bottom part of a 2nd-century statue which has
been found in Govindo-Nagar @ProfVilas

Craftsmanship birthed idol-making, evolving into silent household communication. Sadly, from the 9th to 10th century, it lost value, wrongly linked to insincerity, causing the demise of tradition. #Craftsmanship #Artistry #Tradition
The focus lies in Lord Gautam Buddha's idol on Savan Shukla Paksha Panchami, with five or seven snakes depicted. Lord Buddha, a moral guide ("mani") for households, akin to a snake guarding its treasure, his virtuous image was protected by the dynasty. #LordBuddha #Dharma #Legacy

Artists once preserved Lord Buddha's essence through sculpture. Today, this silent craft is misunderstood as #Nagpanchami. Its true purpose was silent storytelling, like a silent movie. Let's grasp its depth and avoid hypocrisy or negativity. #Buddhism
When in April 1896 Dr Waddell finally got to see Professor Bühler's translation and Dr Führer's subsequent report, he was delighted. The undamaged section of the pillar #inscription.Further...
