I've always thought this is awesome.
It's sometimes said that there are 12 principal dieties in Hinduism although some of them are paired. There is also a festival, Kumbh Mela, which occurs every twelve years, and there are 12 months and 6 seasons in the Hindu calendar.

8 nights of Hannukha?

And Buddha was said to have had 32 distingushing physical marks.
