Peter's Travels Part (2/2) (Big)

25th January 1657

Dakshin Bharatiya Empire, Cholapuri State, Tanjavur City

Peter, along with his group of delegates from Russia, arrived at the cultural and educational capital of Cholapuri, Thanjavur. Roaming around the streets, Peter marvelled at how consistent the infrastructure of this empire was. Along the way, he passed by multiple large temples, which intrigued him because he did not understand why there were temples on every street. On top of all that, these temples were aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

It was not like Peter had not come into contact with other indigenous faith systems because that was false. There was a minority of people in the Russian Empire who still practised the Indigenous Slavic faith systems, and he knew that there was some similarity between the Hinduism of the Bharatiya Empire and the shamanistic belief systems of the Indigenous Slavic people.
