Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> During the Gupta empire—from about 320 to 550 CE—emperors used Hinduism as a unifying religion and helped popularize it by promoting educational systems that included Hindu teachings; they also gave land to brahmins.

Further it was during this period that the puranas were created and bhagavatism was on the rise. All these aspects led to hinduism becoming prominent during the Gupta era.
