Topic: India
Kanishka's reputation in Buddhist tradition is based mainly that he convened the 4th Buddhist Council in Kashmir. Images of the Buddha based on 32 physical signs were made during his time. He provided encouragement to both the Gandhara school of GrecoBuddhist Art and the Mathura school of Hindu art.Kanishka personally seems to have embraced both Buddhism and the Persian cult of Mithra.
