Indian Books- Kashmir occupies a central position in Asia with its borders touching Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and Tibet. This gave rise to the rich cultural matrix in the valley, including religion, philosophy, literature, history, music, fine arts and aesthetics. There has been continuous sculptural activity in the region spanning over a period of thousand years. Despite the rich treasure trove of Kashmiri sculptural images and their most distinctive regional style, a very little research work is done in this area. The present book is an attempt in that direction.

They legitimately count among the glories of India's cultural heritage. Profusely adorned with masterpieces of sculptural art - the frozen version of Indian religious philosophy, these giant cave temples stand in striking contrast with the earliest-known tiny caves in the Barabar Hill, in the Gaya District of Bihar Indian Books.
