Each sculpture is carefully analysed with respect to its iconography (the religious or symbolic imagery it employs), style, and location within the landscape.
The present book is part of an ongoing research series on the rock-cut sculptures of Eastern India, with a specific focus on the lesser-known sculptural heritage of Barabar Hill in Bihar. While Barabar is often acknowledged for its ancient rock-cut caves from the Mauryan period, this volume highlights another equally significant yet overlooked aspect—the numerous sculptures carved into the hill. Through meticulous fieldwork, including on-site surveys, high-quality photographs, & precise measurements, this study brings together over a hundred sculptures—some carved directly into the rock and others discovered as movable fragments.
