Which religion was promoted by the Sathavahana kings?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Hinduism
💡 Explanation:
The Sathavahana dynasty (c. 1st century BCE - 2nd century CE) primarily promoted and supported Hinduism, though they were also tolerant of Buddhism. They performed Vedic sacrifices and patronized Brahmin priests. While they initially supported Buddhism, later rulers shifted focus to Hindu Brahmanical traditions. Options A and B incorrectly suggest Buddhism or Jainism as the primary promoted religion.
