  1. Gadha R

    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 Some theories might be outdated, but it’s still a fascinating glimpse into early scholarship on Buddhist art.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.

  7. Manav Verma

    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.

  9. Shubham Mishra

    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.
