Religions mentioned in the "Life of Pi"

Not only Buddhism but there are many more religions left, too. Especially Sikhs which are far more famous religion. Even Janism, as in India there are more followers of Janism than Buddhism.



Fact is that India is too rich in religions, so it's harder to include them all in one single movie.



Another reason may be that the Film was shot in Puducherry (Pi's House) where Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are the common religions. Showing Buddhism in Puducherry is going to be unrealistic as in Puducherry, as I know, Buddhism is not that popular.(source)
