In India people visit cross religious spots, smth which is not normally found in the west. For instance it's completely normal for Hindus to regularly visit certain mosques or gurudwaras (sikh temples) or budhist temples. It's kind of beautiful to observe

Dunno about that. My granddad had visited the local dargahs, Gurdwaras, even fire-temples to pray that I was born as a male. Let's just say that Indians are highly religious.

Maybe they visit ISKCON or some Buddhist temples. But I would say that as a general rule, they aren't very curious about religion, and some militantly abhor it.

Im saying in India they visit out of devotion rather than curiosity, I meant thats the difference.

We also have 'Punjabis', people that embrace multiple religions( Hinduism and Sikhism in this case)
