Description
A study of Western Indian Buddhist caves has always been concerned with the chronology of the caves based on the political chronology of ruling dynasties. The present work is an attempt to a broader concern with the visuality and its pattern of architectural and decorative designs such as how a particular pattern of articulation was evolved. How did the artisans work in the society with the available tradition/skill and what was the role and politics of patronage. How the early Mahayana developments can be traced within the region itself.
