• The ruler Ashoka erected and dedicated
monuments to Buddhism, he erected and
dedicated monuments to the Buddha
throughout his empire- shrines,
monasteries, and the columns commonly
called Ashokan pillars.
• In his impassioned propagation of
Buddhism, perhaps as a means of
securing his enormous empire, Ashoka
stimulated an intensely rich period of art.
Standing Buddha
• At the site of Bamiyan, were two
enormous Buddhas carved from the rock
of a cliff, one some 115 feet in height, the
other about 165 feet.
• Pilgrims could walk within the cliff up a
staircase on the right side of the smaller
figure that ended at the Buddha’s
shoulder.
• There they could look into the vault of the
niche and see a painted image of he sun
god, suggesting a metaphoric pilgrimage
to the heavens.
• These huge figures likely served as the
model for those at rock-cut sanctuaries in
China.
• Ignoring the pleas of the world leaders, the
Taliban demolished the Bamiyan Buddhas
in 2001.

Lakshmana Temple
• The temple was dedicated to Shiva at
Khajuraho, in central India, was probably
built by a ruler of the Chandella dynasty in
the late tenth or early eleventh century.
• The temple is in the northern style, with a
curvilinear shikhara rising over its garbha
griha. Larger, more extensively
ornamented, and expanded through the
addition of halls on the front and porches
to the sides and back, the temple seems
at first glance to have little in common with
its precursor at Deogarth.
• As at Deogarth, the temple rests on a
stone terrace that sets off a sacred space
from the mundane world.
• A steep flight of stairs at the front leads to
a series of 3 halls, called manadapas
(distinguished from the outside by
pyramidal roofs)
• The mandapas serve as spaces for ritual,
such as dances performed for the deity,
and for the presentation of offerings.
• The temple is built of stone blocks using
only post-and-lintel construction.
• Because vault and arch techniques are not
used, the interior spaces are not large.
• The Khajuraho temples are especially well
known for their numerous erotic
sculptures. Please find information in your
text about these sculptures.
