By the 10th century AD, Buddhist art in India was increasingly overshadowed by the burgeoning influence of Hinduism, reflecting a broader cultural and religious shift. This transition was characterized by the incorporation of Hindu themes and iconography into artistic expressions, as well as the rise of temple architecture dedicated to Hindu deities. As Hinduism gained prominence, the stylistic elements of Buddhist art began to merge with those of Hindu art, leading to a rich synthesis that defined the period. This transformation illustrates the dynamic interplay between the two religions and their artistic traditions in India.
