For India, a thousand years old isn’t old at all. It’s practically yesterday.

Often true. This however was found in Thighland, er, Thailand.

If it was Thailand, why is it not Buddhist? The coins were Buddhist.
I saw a similar such object in Thailand that was literally polished smooth by the touches of women praying for fertility

I think the point is that both the Hindu religion and the Buddhist religion reached Siam from India.

Hindu Indians once conquered Southeast Asia all the way down to present-day Indonesia.
The island of Bali still has a large Hindu presence.

Thanks! Buddhism started in India, spread out over Asia and beyond, then for a long time died out in India itself, while the older Hinduism survived both in India and in diaspora.
