Description

Gandharan art developed around the first century BCE till the fourth century CE in parts of present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan and has been the focus of intense scholarly debates in both Classical and South Asian Studies for many decades. In this book, Ashwini Lakshminarayan offers for the first time a specialized study on gender using Gandharan material culture and convincingly proposes new readings of visual culture beyond Eurocentric and postcolonial interpretations. This book sets the stage with a detailed overview of the contexts in which Gandharan art was located in Buddhist sites by analysing the gendered use of space, and the gender and activities of donors and administrators. At its core, the book gives prominence to the stone reliefs of Gandhara and examines how male and female bodies are represented, how they interact, and how gender symbolised ideals and values. With an important comparative overview of the Gandharan artistic production and new illustrations, this work is indispensable for all those interested in the study of gender in ancient art, the interaction between Graeco-Roman and Indic cultures, and the development of the early Buddhist artistic tradition in South and Central Asia that also shaped Buddhist visual culture eastwards in China.
