About the Book
This book provides a detailed analysis of the 60 monumental slabs covering the dome of the relatively unknown stupa at Kanaganahalli, Karnataka, one of the most significant discoveries of the Archaeological Survey of India in the 20th century. The study presents a stylistic examination of the reliefs, tentatively reconstructing their original sequence.
Using Prakrit inscriptions on the slabs alongside textual sources in Sanskrit, Pali, and Chinese, the author interprets the content of the representations and provides comparative pictorial material from Andhra, Ajanta, Sanchi, and Bharhut, featuring 159 colour plates. The slabs are illustrated with clear line drawings arranged to replicate the visitor’s perspective while circumambulating the monument.
Intended for researchers and enthusiasts of Buddhism, ancient Indian art, and cultural heritage, this volume is a crucial resource for understanding the artistic and historical significance of Kanaganahalli.
