Kanishka was famous for patronage of which religion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Buddhism

Direct answer: Option C, Buddhism. Kanishka was a powerful ruler of the Kushan Empire and is traditionally remembered as an important patron of Buddhism, especially Mahayana Buddhism. Patronage means giving support, protection, money, or encouragement to a religion, institution, or cultural activity. Step by step: identify Kanishka as a Kushan ruler; recall his support for Buddhist teachers, ideas, and institutions; connect his reign with the spread of Buddhism across parts of Central Asia and northern India; therefore Option C is correct. The Fourth Buddhist Council is traditionally associated with Kanishka, although historical details about its date and exact location are discussed by scholars. Option A is wrong because Jainism is not the religion most strongly associated with Kanishka’s patronage in this question. Option B is wrong because Sikhism developed many centuries later. Option D is wrong because Christianity is not the standard answer connected with Kanishka’s religious patronage. His period also encouraged Gandhara art, which shows interaction between Indian and Central Asian traditions. Memory cue: ‘Kanishka, Kushans, and Buddhism.’
