Pasupati & Romans 1:23

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:23
 
"The region of northwest India, in River Indus’s basin area, began urbanizing and was in decline by 1500 BC.

Its natives had their own religious universe, though most of their gods, goddesses, and rituals are still unknown. 
Yet, artefacts like seals, tablets, and terracotta figurines found at its many settlements like Mohenjodaro and Harappa tell their own tales.  
 
One such tablet has as its central theme a man meditating cross-legged in yogic posture. Sporting a double-horned headgear, he is surrounded by animals like tiger, rhinoceros, and elephant. This has led archaeologists to call him Pasupati (In Sanskrit, pasu is animal, pati lord)." PocketWorthy
