Overview

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.
