Explanation:

These are the two characteristics that show the strong influence of Hindu beliefs on society during the Gupta period. Hindu beliefs developed over a long period of time in the subcontinent. While many beliefs are much older, Hinduism as a whole began to take shape after the end of the Vedic period (1500-500 BCE) and flourished during the Medieval period. Hindu beliefs were responsible for many of the social structures that were present in the Gupta period, such as the caste system and the patriarchal system.
