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. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2025

The book Sculpting the Divine: Rock-cut Sculptures of Kauwa-Dol Hill explores the vibrant artistic legacy of the Pala period in the ancient Magadha region through meticulous documentation of Brahmanical and Buddhist sculptures. The site, once home to the ancient monastic complex of Silabhadra Vihara, served as a thriving centre of learning. The study highlights the dynamic interplay between rock, relief, and ritual, transforming stone into a medium of memory, sanctity, and historical continuity. This work examines accounts by notable scholars who have studied the site, including Xuanzang, Buchanan, Kittoe, Beglar, Cunningham, Bloch and Patil. It comprehensively analyses the evolution of rock-cut sculptures, the environmental setting of Kauwa-Dol Hill, and its historical-religious landscape.
