About the Book
This work explores the idea that the coastlands of India were cultural melting pots, absorbing, mediating, and often transcending the artistic styles of the interior regions. It particularly examines the influence of the classical schools of Indian sculptural art such as Mathura, Gandhara, and Sarnath.
The discussions, spread across nine chapters, cover a broad range of sculptural art created in the Indian littoral regions between 300 BCE and 500 CE. The book highlights how coastal regions contributed to the evolution of Indian sculpture by blending local traditions with influences from foreign cultures, resulting in distinctive art forms that shaped the region’s cultural and artistic landscape.
This book is an essential resource for scholars, students, and art enthusiasts interested in Indian sculpture, cultural exchange, and the evolution of artistic traditions in ancient India.
