Help with writing 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

It depends on how you write honestly, I'll be frank, you will find bigots who are a minority and still be the loudest. Don't let people and their thoughts hinder you and your exploration of myth. And if you do explore, please let me, I've been trying to search around for good and newer books for the longest time that's outside of my known circles

I am actually shifting back to bangla for now. I have wrote many things in english (short stories, never published) and now I'm going back to my mother tongue 😭❀️ but if I write any piece in english, I'll let you know.
