Purchase options and add-ons
The complex of sacred caves in India enjoyed two distinct periods of patronage, a Hinayana Buddhist phase about 100 BC to 100 CE, and a revival in the middle fifth century under the powerful emperor Harisena of the Vakataka Dynasty. Having written extensively about Indian art in general and specifically that found in the Ajanta caves, Spink (emeritus history of art, U. of Michigan-Ann Arbor) here offers a guide to visitors, detailing the art to be seen in each of the more than 36 caves. He includes maps, floor plans, and elevations, but no reproductions of the art itself, which readers are presumably looking at with their own eyes. There is no index.

How customer reviews and ratings work
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
