I used data from Open Street Map and the CBCNEI (Council of Baptist Churches in Northeast India) for the map but it was hard to get accurate figures. Any suggestion to improve the accuracy of the map is welcome

I would have expected the Portuguese influence in Goa to be higher.

Hey OP, my city has multiple churches. It doesn’t even show up as a dot. What’s the criteria you used?

Also, the one you see in the South are very old Christian community, but the one you see on the Northeast are due to recent missionary work where local animist traditions were eliminated by missionaries.
Wow. I did not know that Andhra Pradesh and Telangana would have a sizable amount. I also did not know that Nepal would have many churches as well.

There are so many churches built in punjab in the past 10-15 years due to their conversion programs in which they falsely claim that they can cure problems like cancer and paralysis.
Also The reason for the growth of Christianity in northern India is that poor and so called low caste Hindus and sikhs are not treated well and are not allowed to enter gurudwaras and temples mostly in Villages. And these missionaries are providing education and finance for these families without similar discrimination.
