Which of the following suggests that many people who turned to Buddhism enriched it with their own Pre-Buddhist beliefs, practices and ideas?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Shalabhanjika
The shalabhanjika motif suggests that many people who turned to Buddhism enriched it with their own pre-Buddhist and even non-Buddhist beliefs, practices and ideas. Some of the recurrent motifs in the sculpture at Sanchi were evidently derived from these traditions.
