Answer 2

In the post-Mauryan phase, people followed Buddhism, Jainism,  & Hinduism

Explanation:

• The rulers never seem to have made that particular religion the state religion despite their personal affiliation with a particular deity or religion.
• Buddhism was also given royal patronage. There were several Buddhist kings of this period. The courtyard of the Kanishka was decorated with academics such as Vasumitra, Parsva, Charaka, & Nagarjuna. The Buddhist caves & epigraphs at Nasik, Pitalkhora, Bedsa, Bhaja, Kuda, & Kondone  & the Buddhist stupas at Amaravati, Bhattiprolu, Ghantasala, Goli, Gummididurru,  Barhat, Sanchi, Karle, Nagarjunakonda & many more places in the sub-continent prove in what way Buddhism became popular. Buddhism was divided into two sects — the Hinayana and,  the Mahayana — which was a major development in Buddhism. The 4th Buddhist Council was established by Kanishka where this division took place.
• In Vedic days, Vishnu was a minor deity. He was worshiped as the cult of Fertility & Sun. Narayana was a tribal deity who was not Vedic. He's been named bhagavat, too. The "hero" of the "Vrishni tribe" known as Krishna-Vasudeva, was considered as Vishnu. All these 3 streams fused into one and resulted in bhagvatism by 200BC. By the end of the late Gupta period it was integrated  as "Vaishnavism" was assimilated and was known by that name
• Jainism too transformed changed. By the first century AD it divided into Digambaras and Swetambaras. Digambaras asserted they were original and pure, while Svetambaras asserted they were liberal.  Jains also developed the image of worship, as stated by Kharavela In his Hathigumpha epigraph, because of the removing from Kalinga of the image of Jaina and its recovery by him. J. Many "well-carved" Jainas votive tablets &Jain images are found in Madhura, which confirms the views of the Jain 's image worship development such as the Buddhists
• An outcome of this new development of Bhakti cultivation or personal devotion to all of the existing religions resulted in the development of new symbols of the cultural heritage – Chaitya, Stupa, & Vihara of the Buddhists, Jaina Basadis & Sanathanadharma, or Puranic theology temples.
