### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Indian Buddhist Art, introduces some Jataka Tales
*by D***Y on February 11, 2021*

The media could not be loaded. Growing up in an East Asian country, I’m drawn to Buddhist arts that are different from the tradition I’m familiar with. The Buddha, Bodhisattva images in this book are more human like than what I’m used to and they are just stunning!About 180 out of 256 pages are printed on glossy photographic papers (I hope my counting was right). The pictures are as beautiful as museum catalogs. There is one picture of a carving that has almost the same impact (religious shock!) on me as physically visiting a temple and meeting a statue in person. I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the quality of these pictures.Unlike our friends in Theravādan tradition, I was not exposed to Jataka tales in my childhood. As a beginner, I’d appreciate some tales are briefly told along with the mural arts. In this book you find; Sibi Jataka, Sankhapala Jataka, Mahajanaka Jataka, Campeya Jataka, Vidhurapandita Jataka, Visvantara Jataka, the tale of elephant Nalagiri, Shaddanta Jataka, Hamsa Jataka, Kapi Jataka, Sutasoma Jataka, Matriposhaka Jataka, Mahisha Jataka, Sinhala Avadana, and Mriga Jataka.May you be happy and free of suffering. Namaste

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A treasured collection.
*by K***N on March 4, 2024*

Magnificent confluence of word and pictures. Mr. Behl never ceases to amaze with his depth and dexterity. A trip to the Ajanta Caves that soon transforms into an inward journey...a profound contemplation. A great resource and a collection to treasure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Book
*by M***N on February 23, 2021*

Love it. The book is in great condition. Delivery was so much faster than expected. The seller took great care in the handling of the book. The book looks new and I can't wait to carefully read and learn from this book. It makes for a beautiful coffee table book but one must really read and appreciate it's purpose.
