Here's your India, bro. Fairly accurate to the mythology, history and architecture, too. Even down to the clothing, artefacts and jewellery.
>Pic features Arjuna Gāṇḍīvadhārī (one of his many titles) from the Kuru Mahājanapada (Kingdom) of Ancient India.
>In the design featured in the pic which seems to be inspired by the Javanese interpretation of the Mahābhārata, Arjuna wears his distinguished attire which consists of a dress made of the Limarsawo Cloth, the Candrakānta (Moonstone) Necklace and the Minangkara Armlets. It should be noted that most of the names of these ornaments are in Javanese, not Sanskrit.
>In his left arm, he wields the Divine Bow Gāṇḍīva, a celestial weapon originally crafted by Brahmā, the Creator God of the Hindu Trinity, and later bestowed upon him by Agni, the god of fire, and Varuṇa, the god of water. This legendary bow, renowned for its immense power and indestructibility, is said to be capable of killing even the gods.
>He stands in what appears to be the legendary Maya Sabha, the enigmatic palace crafted by the Asura architect Maya for the Pandavas in Indraprastha, the capital of Pandava-ruled Kuru. Legends say that its floors appeared like ponds, and ponds appeared like floors, creating illusions that bewildered visitors. Gods and men alike envied the grandeur of the Pandavas’ residence.
>The architecture of the Maya Sabha appears to incorporate Torana-style arched gateways and Gandhāran-style Indo-Greek sculptures, evident in the intricate folds of the clothing and the serene expressions of the deities, which exude a sense of divinity and timelessness.
I’m genuinely impressed by the level of detail the Japanese captured in the Fate/Grand Order Memorial Movie 2023.

Why can't Japan write stories that aren't based on one of these countries? The rest of the world has rich history and culture too.
