AbstractFor the first time in the volume is presented a comprehensive survey of the art and architecture of ancient Kashmir. From about the third century until the Islamization of Kashmir in the fourteenth, the region was a bastion of both Buddhism and Hinduism. Not only was Kashmire an important centre of Hindu and Buddhis philosophy and learning, which attracted scholars from all parts of India as well as Central Asia, China and Tibet, but artistic forms created by generations of Kashmiri artists were in much demand in other regions. Recognizably distinct sytles, both in art and architecture, evolved in Kashmir and proved particularly popular in the neighbouring regions of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tibet. The book not only discusses the remains of both Buddhist and Hindu architecture in ancient Kashmir, but also provides a fascinating insight into the history of the various sculptural traditions as well as the connectiosn between the arts of Kashmir and Tibet.
