Note that the previous figure cited (0.75) is based upon 2017-2018 data from Ashoka University. I replaced it with a 2021 stat from the Global Data Lab, which is newer. Note that there is a significant discrepancy for the two datasets, and they probably use different statistics for the three variables to be calculated.

Although Hindus are 80% of the state, the images under religion section are mostly of Marathi Hindu shrines except one of a buddhist shrine.There are Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and jews in the state too.This is a page on the state of Maharashtra rather than on Marathi people, and theefore the images should reflect the ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity of the state.Thanks.
