The over arching period of the 2nd century BC to 3rd century AD witnessed the development of Buddhism in India. The period is well known for the growth and development of Buddhist art and architecture and one is able to get a glimpse of contemporary society going through these art forms. Women are an integral part of a society and the position and role of women is a pre requisite to define the humbleness and harmony of any society. No society can be regarded as civilised and cultured in true sense without acknowledging the status and dignity of women. The archaeological and literary sources have manifested women in various roles since ancient times and are very magnificently projected in early Buddhist sculptural art. The presence of women in Buddhist sculptural do not only implies the cultural manifestations but also highlights the socio economic role of women in that particular space and time. There are a plethora of inscriptions and sculptural representations that appear in early Buddhist period which indicate active involvement of women in social religious affairs. This changed attitude of society towards women after the advent of Buddhism is very clearly reflected in early Buddhist sculptural art. By going through the detailed depictions of various religious and secular narratives we can observe women in early Buddhist sculptural art in various dimensions. This is also very well affirmed by inscriptions carved on various parts of Buddhist monuments. The book with the help of literary and epigraphically sources intends to present the contemporary diversified and multifarious role of women in early Buddhist sculptural art. In order to authenticate the study the author has collected source material from various museums and extensively traveled to various Buddhist monuments. (jacket). …

Erotic representations in sculptural art of the Brahmaputra valley and their significance. 5. Dress, ornaments and coiffeur in sculptural art of Assam. 6. Conclusion. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. Plates. An attempt to reconstruct the ancient society of Assam and its deep cultural-socio linkage with other region of Bharat may be done through studying various sculptural depiction found in religious monuments of Assam which are both religious and secular in nature. From the study of various works, it is known that the writers give importance on iconography and no serious effort has made to study the religious developments and general life of people of Assam based on sculptural sources. Though brief surveys of discoveries in the field of sculptures have been made by several writers on the early history of Assam, sculptural art did not get adequate attention. Besides carving the gods, the feminine cult has always a matter of great interest among the people of Assam which is clearly reflected in sculptural art of Assam where plenty of Brahmanical, Buddhist and Sakta deities are carved in sculptural art. Prior to the political oppression of the British to Assam, a well organised social, cultural, spiritual, and commercial relationship between the people of Assam and other parts of Bharat relations was in existence. The subject in sculptural art of Assam is not restricted to depiction of gods only and many mundane and secular scenes could also be seen where an individual is carved in such as single, family and social respect. Image worship of the god in symbolic and anthropomorphic form got reflected in art of Assam, which not only satisfied the religious urge of the people, but also create fear and respect for gods. The present book intends to trace the development of sculptural art in Brahmaputra valley and explore the participation of people in secular and religious activities. This book aims to trace the cultural affinity of people and their life style of Ancient Assam with other parts of Bharat.…
