AMARAVATI: ART AND BUDDHISM IN ANCIENT INDIA (HB)

This exploration of the exceptional Buddhist stupa (reliquary mound) at Amaravati, one of ancient India’s most extraordinary monuments, presents a fresh perspective on the rich visual culture of ancient South Asia. The excellent newly taken photographs, particularly those featuring objects from the British Museum in London, show in detail how the stupa communicated Buddhist teachings and practices to its followers, making this book an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike.
