Things took a turn for the worse, after people realized that the website also had Islamic themed door mats for sale

| Seller Selling Hindu Goddess on Amazon |
Amazon India found itself in trouble on Saturday night after
it was discovered that the website had door mats with Hindu gods and goddesses
on them for sale.
#BoycottAmazon soon started trending on social media with
outraged people venting out on the company.
This is not the first time that Amazon has gotten into
trouble over such a situation.
In 2014, Hindu cleric Rajan Zed noted that the website was
selling women’s leggings carrying images of various Hindu Gods.
At the time, Zed said, “Hindus welcome the art world to
immerse in Hinduism but [for] taking it seriously and respectfully and not for
refashioning Hinduism concepts and symbols for personal agendas.
Barbie-fication of Kali is simply improper, wrong and out of place.”
Amazon is yet to respond to the incident.
