Popular religion gradually focused on minor gods with multiple exploits and legends but with more significant theological characteristics such as Shiva, Ganesh, Vishnu and his numerous avatars including Krishna. To further complicate matters, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, while distinct, share several beliefs and practices with Hindus. In India, Muslim and Christian practices themselves overlap with Hindu practices. We often talk about 330 million deities in India, if this number is subjective, there is at least one per day to pray and celebrate!
