Summary: A Fascinating Exposé
Comment: This books shows the historical development of a tiny Buddhist kingdom perched high in the western Himalayas. Tabo, the oldest Buddhsit monestary in India today, was the main religious and cultural centre of the Western Himalayas, and, situated on a vital nexus of the Silk Road, was of critical importance. Part of Deborah Klimburg-Salter's books shows how this monastery survived and prospered, and offers revealing insights to this vital cultural and economic cross-road. A huge wealth of photographs documents the great sculptures, wall paintings, and documents that the monastery is famous for. As an art-historian, the author explains with easy the meanings of the various deities, and what their ornamental details and placement can tell us about the history of the region. For anyone interested in Buddhist Art history or the history of Western Himalayas, this is a great book that should not be missed.
