Event Description : National Monuments Authority presents "The Enigma of Gandharan Buddhas" a talk by Prof. Juhyung Rhi, Department of Archaeology & Art History, Seoul National University, Korea.


Evidently the Buddha was the focus of worship in Gandharan Buddhist monasteries. In addition to a major Buddhist stupa, which most probably contained the Buddha's relics, numerous Buddha images were dedicated in monasteries. Despite their central importance in Gandharan statuary, a number of aspects concerning their production as material objects and significance as religious images still remain obscure.  This lecture will explore the practice of making and dedicating Buddha images in Gandharan monasteries.
