    A valuable resource for understanding the complexities surrounding the Mahabodhi Temple. It offers a detailed analysis on the temple.

    An interesting, though sometimes dry, exploration of the sacred place. A bit of a niche topic but delivered well with great historical background.

    The book is very informative, but it could have benefited from more accessible language. I found it challenging to get through in some parts.

  4. Keshav Jaswal –

    I appreciated the depth of research, especially regarding the legal battles. Though it got bogged down in details, it gives great insight into the legal battles.

    I struggled to connect with the author’s writing style, though I admire the dedication to the subject. The book did provide some information on the temple.

    This book provides a unique perspective on the Mahabodhi Temple, but it’s definitely geared toward academic readers. The book could be improved.

    A detailed, scholarly work on the Mahabodhi Temple. At times, the academic language felt dense, but the research is clearly extensive. Worth reading for serious scholars.

    A must-read for anyone interested in Buddhist history or sacred spaces. A thoroughly comprehensive study on the Mahabodhi Temple with great detail.

  11. Sourabh Ghosh –

    Joshi’s book offers a fascinating look at the temple’s complex history. I found the case study particularly insightful. A bit too focused on legal aspects for my taste.
