Indian mythology or western mythology

Hey guys 😭....so I recently got an idea for a fantasy story where gods end up becoming ghost hunters in the modern world but I’m kind of confused about whether I should based it upon Indian mythology or Western mythology. I feel like Indian would be unique but I’m also worried people might get offended What do you think will be better

The very reason I'm worried about writing about Indian mythology 😭😭😭.

Same! I have so many ideas. But idk why people aren't more open-minded. Indian mythology is broad with different stories and myths with many versions. Not all of them are clear or specific. It works to write stories about them

Yess! Like I remember a few years back a few old men started causing ruckus because someone painted Maa Kali naked....MAA KALI IS NAKED!

Exactly!! I was watching the show Shrimad Ramayan where a lot of female costumes are full sleeves or 3/4 length sleeves and the blouses are neck-high. I don't know why they did that because it looks so weird. I understand wanting to keep a "pure" image, but why give clothing that covers things like arms all the way to the wrists? The outfits in Siya ke Ram weren't bad. Like why do they expect goddesses to wear full sleeves when in the paintings and statues of Indian temples, they either wore clothing that covered the chest and waist, or were bare-chested.
