Detailed explanation-1: -During the Gupta empire-from about 320 to 550 CE-emperors used Hinduism as a unifying religion and helped popularize it by promoting educational systems that included Hindu teachings; they also gave land to brahmins. The Gupta emperors helped make Hinduism the most popular religion on the Indian subcontinent.
Detailed explanation-2: -As traditional Hindu monarchs, the Guptas were strong supporters of vedic religious beliefs and rituals.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vishnu and Shiva were the two important gods who commanded the worship of majority during the Gupta ruler. They were Vaishnavas but they were tolerant towards other religions.
Detailed explanation-4: -While there is no shortage of historical scholars, sages, and teachers in Hinduism, there is no historical founder of the religion as a whole, no figure comparable to Jesus, the Buddha, Abraham, or Muhammad. As a consequence, there is no firm date of origin for Hinduism, either.
