<br/><br/> "Hindu Deities Worshipped in Japan" by Benoy K. Behl explores the fascinating history of Hindu deities, particularly Saraswati, Lakshmi, and others, finding a place in Japanese Buddhist traditions. The book details how these deities, along with Sanskrit, were introduced to Japan through Buddhist scriptures like the Suvarnabhasottama-sutra and the Mahavairochana-sutra. It examines their iconography, worship practices, and the influence of Indian culture on Japanese art and aesthetics. <br/>
