Book Early Buddhist Caves of Western India Ca  Second Century BCE Through the Third Century CE

Download or read book Early Buddhist Caves of Western India Ca Second Century BCE Through the Third Century CE written by David S. Efurd and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study analyzes physical remains dating from the second century BCE through the third century CE from early Buddhist rock-cut sites in Maharashtra State, India. Based on inscriptional evidence combined with the analysis of architectural and sculptural features, it provides a classification system for the various cave types and caves composed of combinations of these types. By extrapolating from inscribed examples, it classifies nearly all of the interior spaces found at early Buddhist sites and assesses the various permutations of caves according to utilization, patronage, and ornamentation. The inclusion of all cave forms, not only the largest and most elaborately decorated, provides a comprehensive portrait of early Buddhist cave sites as living monasteries with interiors for the veneration of relics, rooms for monastic habitation in isolation, pairs, or in groups, and spaces utilizable for many other purposes, including religious instruction, meditation, the preparation and consumption of meals, and receptions. This study demonstrates that the diverse architectural forms at cave sites are the result of both the needs of the Buddhist community and patronage patterns at the early Buddhist monastery. Thus, the picture created from these details broadens our knowledge of early Buddhist practices, patronage, architecture, and how the architecture served the western Indian Buddhist community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellora is one of the great cave temple sites of India, with thirty-four major Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain monuments of the late sixth to tenth centuries A. D. This book describes the Buddhist caves at Ellora and places them in the context of Buddhist art and iconography. Ellora's twelve Buddhist cave temples, dating from the early seventh to the early eighth centuries, preserve an unparalleled one-hundred-year sequence of architectural and iconographical development. They reveal the evolution of a Buddhist mandala at sites in other regions often considered "peripheral" to the heartland of Buddhism in eastern India. At Ellora, the mandala, ordinarily conceived as a two-dimensional diagram used to focus meditation, is unfolded into the three-dimensional program of the cave temples themselves, enabling devotees to walk through the mandala during worship. The mandala's development at Ellora is explained and its significance is considered for the evolution of Buddhist art and iconography elsewhere in India.
