Book excerpt: Illustrations: 247 b/w illustrations Description: This book deals with crucial though controversial questions in Buddhist art: the origin of the Buddha image and the iconography of the Buddha images. The earliest Buddhist art of Sanchi and Bharhut is aniconic : The Buddha is represented in symbols only. In the later Buddhist art of Gandhara and Mathura, the Buddha is represented in human form: he is the principal subject of sculptural art. The book seeks to explore the geographical area in which the image of the Buddha first emerged and whether the Buddhist doctrines-Hinayana or Mahayana-had anything to do with this transformation. The Buddha image, as developed eventually at Sarnath, became the model for the Buddha images in whole of Asia, south-east, central and eastern Asia. The iconographic features of the Buddha image are superficially an aberration, being in apparent conflict with the doctrine. The Buddha had cut off his hair at the time of his renunciation; the rules of the order enjoin that a monk must be tonsured and must discard and eschew all riches. However, in his images, the Buddha has hair on his head; later he is also endowed with a crown and jewels. After an exhaustive examination of the views of various scholars, the book answers these questions and resolves the controversies on the basis of literary, numismatic and epigraphic sources. More importantly it makes use of the valuable evidence from the contemporaneous Jaina art : Aniconism of early Jaina art and the iconographic features of Jaina images. The implications of this study are also important : Does India owe idolatry to Buddhism? Was this of foreign inspiration? Was the Buddha image fashioned after the Vedic Brahma and whether the Buddha's usnisa and Buddhist art motifs are rooted in the Vedic tradition? The book is profusely illustrated and provides rich and stimulating fare to students of Indian art in general and of Buddhist art in particular.

Book excerpt: Born in Choubis Pargana in 1875, he belonged to a Bengali Brahmin family, who had later decided to follow the Christian faith, being disenchanted by the caste system as it prevailed then. His father, Babu Amarnath Ghosal was Secretary to the Municipality of Mirzapur, in the United Provinces and enjoyed a position of repute in society. He received his master's degree in English Literature from Allahabad University and was a gold medallist. His academic record was distinguished, as he later earned distinctions in the advanced specialised courses MRAS and FSA from London. Bipin Ghosal began his career as a professor of English in Bhopal. Later, he took charge of the King Edward Museum, Bhopal State. He was also the Chief Librarian of the prestigious Hamidiya Library. Since he was an archaeologist, he developed a special interest in the Sanchi Stupas, which later turned into a passion. Bipin Ghosal was also instrumental in drawing the attention of Sir John Marshall, Director General, Archaeological Survey of India towards the magnificent Sanchi Stupas, who later took up the restoration work of the monument in 1912. It would be worthy to note that Sanchi got a railway station only through his persistent requests to the British. In acknowledgement of his commitment, hard work, knowledge and documentation skills, he was later given the charge of the Sanchi Museum. Not only the British rulers, but many royal dignitaries from other countries and intellectual personalities of his time had high appreciation for his work on Sanchi. This book is truly a tribute to Sanchi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “monumental bias” of Buddhist archaeology has hampered our understanding of the socio-religious mechanisms that enabled early Buddhist monks to establish themselves in new areas. To articulate these relationships, Shaw presents here the first integrated study of settlement archaeology and Buddhist history, carried out in the area around Sanchi, a Central Indian UNESCO World Heritage site. Her comprehensive, data-rich, and heavily illustrated work provides an archaeological basis for assessing theories regarding the dialectical relationship between Buddhism and surrounding lay populations. It also sheds light on the role of the introduction of Buddhism in changing settlement patterns.This volume was originally published in 2007 by the British Association of South Asian Studies.
