The factor that helped Hinduism grow represented by the picture of the many-headed figure is tolerance of other cultures. The diverse representation of human and animal heads, as well as the mixture of genders and colors, reflects the inclusive nature of Hinduism and its ability to absorb and integrate elements from various cultures and beliefs.
