Very interesting observation Tim, but i'll bet you'll have a real hard time (no pun intended) getting any confirmation on such a design intention.

There are overlays of indigenous, Hindu, Buddhist, and later Muslim cultural influences all over the region. These are reflected in different ways. I am not surprised that your good eyes have spied Hindu influences. All of these overlays are still present.

Beautiful work! I'm impressed.
