About the Book:
This volume explores the rich diversity of deities in Buddhist iconography, with a particular focus on Vayu, who appears in twenty-two different forms across various cultures, including India, Nepal, Tibet, Mongolia, China, Japan, and Indonesia. While some forms can be traced back to classical texts, others are drawn from pantheons, paintings, sculptures, and statuettes across these regions. The book provides a detailed analysis of the different depictions and the cultural significance of these forms, offering valuable insights into the evolution of Buddhist deities and their representation in art. It serves as an essential resource for scholars and art historians interested in Buddhist iconography and the rich diversity of religious art across Asia.
