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.

There were also some other reactions to the whole fiasco.

"Gods" are a work of fiction. So, why the fuss over a fictional character being used on a doormat?

come on. You can't say like that. Since you are not religious so you dont care about it. Which is undersntandable. But this Doesnt mean you can offend other by such thoughts.

Norse people don't get offended when Thor is trolled or is used in many forms of merchandise.
