  1. Sugat Subhash Sondavale –

    Informative, but not exactly a page-turner. The essays are well-researched. I wish there was more focus on specific art pieces.

  2. Aaditya Raj Jain –

    A valuable addition to any art history library. Joshi’s contribution to the field is undeniable. It is bit academic for casual readers.

  3. Muskan Suryan –

    A good compilation, but some essays feel dated. Joshi’s insights are valuable, but the editing could be better. Overall, a worthwhile read for serious scholars.

  4. Anuj Pandey –

    I found this book to be pretty boring. There were very few images, which is a shame considering the topic is visual.

  5. Jyotika Tuteja –

    For a book focusing on art and architecture, there could have been more in the way of visual aides to complement the texts.

  6. Premkanth Karumanchi –

    Excellent resource for understanding Buddhist art history. Joshi’s research is thorough. The book is a bit dense at times.

    Some of Joshi’s writing has aged quite well, though other part are pretty dense and hard to understand.

    A comprehensive overview. The collected papers show a career dedicated to the topic, but it can be a lot to digest in one sitting.

    In-depth exploration of Buddhist art and architecture. The book is quite detailed and the author has a great depth of knowledge.

    Well researched and informative. Though, it felt a bit long. I wish the editor had trimmed some of the less impactful content.

  11. Akhil Srivastava –

    It gave great insight, I really enjoyed learning more about the Buddhist architecture, I am very happy with the purchase I would say.

  12. Mridul Sharma –

    A mixed bag. Some chapters are brilliant, others are a bit dry. It’s a scholarly work, so expect dense prose. Worth it for the dedicated student.

  13. Vishal Teotia –

    Fascinating look at Buddhist art! Joshi’s depth of knowledge is impressive. However, the book could benefit from more illustrations. Still recommended.

  14. Sneha Yadav –

    The details in this book really helped understand. The book provides good base and information, but not great if you are new.

  15. Shreya Sharma –

    Very informative, with great depth and understanding. A good study book for anyone interested in the subject, but it’s very heavy.

  16. Divyanshu Gautam –

    A decent academic resource. The essays are informative, but the book lacks a certain flair. It is a valuable addition.

  17. Harshita Baheti –

    A bit dry, but still provides solid information. I wish there was more of a narrative flow. Overall, a useful academic resource.

    A great compilation of Joshi’s works. A bit academic, but still a very informative read for those interested in Buddhist art and architecture.

  19. Kshitij Verma –

    Excellent for scholars, a bit heavy for casual readers. Joshi’s expertise shines through. It might not be for everyone.

  20. Avdhut Arjun Rane –

    This book has interesting insights, but is quite dense and assumes the reader already has some familiarity with the topic.

  21. Jashan Sankla –

    While very informative, it’s not the most engaging read. Good for research, maybe not for leisure reading. Some sections are very detailed.
