- Details: This book challenges the traditional view that early Indian sculptural art was centered only in inland cultural hubs like Mathura, Gandhara, and Sarnath. Instead, it highlights the artistic and cultural significance of India's coastal regions, which, as centers of long-distance maritime trade, absorbed and synthesized influences from Egyptian, Arabian, Persian, East African, and Southeast Asian civilizations. Covering the period between 300 BCE and 500 CE, the book explores sculptures in rock-cut caves, pillar capitals, and terracotta art from India's littoral regions. Based on the author's extensive fieldwork, it offers fresh insights into the dynamic artistic exchanges along India's coast.
