Forum:Why do the Gaians appear in Buddhist temples in Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2?

In Shin Megami Tensei 1, the Gaians, the Chaos-aligned final bosses, and the bonus boss Beelzebub appear in what appear to be Buddhist temples, though there are sometimes Hindu elements (like banners with the Aum symbol on it, I think). In Shin Megami Tensei 2, the Gaians appear in similar Buddhist temples with guardian gods. Why is this and how does it relate to them and the Chaos alignment?
