About the Book:
The Upanishads represent the quintessence of Indian spiritual wisdom, offering profound reflections on human existence and its relationship to the vast, mysterious cosmos. Authored by enlightened sages between 1500-200 BCE, these texts illuminate a vision that elevates human consciousness to extraordinary heights.
This book, however, shifts focus to Kausambi, one of the significant centers of Buddhist art in ancient India, which has often been overlooked by scholars. By documenting over 300 stone sculptures found in Kausambi and its surrounding areas, the work presents the first extensive study of Buddhist art in the region from the Mauryan to the post-Gupta period.
Key features of the book include:
- Artistic Focus: In-depth analysis of over 300 sculptures, including their iconographic features, materials, techniques, and aesthetic qualities.
- Historical Background: Explores the rich history of Kausambi and its deep association with Buddhism, shedding light on its art traditions.
- Comparative Analysis: Highlights the uniqueness of Kausambi art compared to the art traditions of Mathura and Sarnath.
- Extensive Documentation: Over 225 black-and-white and 50 coloured photographs of Buddhist sculptures, systematically classified and thoroughly analysed.
The book aims to serve as an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Buddhist art, helping to fill the gap in the study of Kausambi's artistic treasures.
