    A dense but rewarding read. Coomaraswamy’s insights are invaluable for understanding early Buddhist art. Some sections were a bit dry, but overall a worthwhile exploration.

  2. Prateek Jayant –

    This book is clearly a product of its time. Some theories might be outdated, but it’s still a fascinating glimpse into early scholarship on Buddhist art.

  3. Piyush Raj –

    Fascinating! This book opened my eyes to the complexities of Gandhara art and its Indic roots. A bit academic at times, but ultimately enriching.

  4. Kumar Nilmani –

    An important work, but not for beginners. The language is quite scholarly. Still, the content is groundbreaking. Rating reflects complexity and information.

  5. Manas Goel –

    While insightful, the book felt a bit dated in its approach. Still, Coomaraswamy’s contribution to the field is undeniable. Glad I read it, though.

  6. Shantanu Singh –

    Coomaraswamy’s deep knowledge shines through. A must-read for serious scholars of Buddhist iconography. A little too detailed for a casual reader, though.

    A challenging but ultimately rewarding read. Coomaraswamy’s passion for the subject is evident. Recommended for those seeking deep understanding.

  8. Abhinav Yadav –

    Excellent resource for understanding the Indic influences on the Buddha image. The writing style can be a bit heavy, but the content is top-notch.

    I learned so much about the origins of the Buddha image! The book can be challenging to get through, but is worth the effort to understand.

  10. Kshitij Vilas Chaudhari –

    A comprehensive study that sheds light on the Gandhara school. It does get bogged down in details occasionally, but it’s a valuable resource.
