The study presents a stylistic examination of the reliefs and tentatively determines their original sequence. Using the Prakrit inscriptions on the slabs, as well as textual sources in Sanskrit, Pali, and Chinese, the book analyses the contents of the representations and provides comparative pictorial material from Andhra, Ajanta, Sanchi, and Bharhut (159 colour plates). The Kanaganahalli slabs are illustrated in clearly legible line drawings made by the author which have been arranged in the order that a visitor to the Adhalakamahacaitya would have seen them while circumambulating the monument. The book is intended for researchers and lay readers interested in Buddhism and ancient Indian art and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aryan Books International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49526151872816,"sku":"AryanBooksInernationalDrg_9788173055898","price":2880.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/aryan-books-international-book-default-title-the-kanaganahalli-stupa-an-analysis-of-the-60-massive-slabs-covering-the-dome-40143907422512.jpg?v=1775980778","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-kanaganahalli-stupa-an-analysis-of-the-60-massive-slabs-covering-the-dome","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
