He also delves into the historical and cultural context of Buddhist art, exploring the role of patronage, the influence of other religions and cultures, and the political and social factors that shaped the development of Buddhist art in India.The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and drawings, providing readers with a visual understanding of the art and architecture of Buddhism in India.
