Illustrates one of India's mystic architectural treasures.

The Buddhist monument of Borobudur, built in central Java during the late eighth and early ninth centuries, serves as a cosmic symbol of heaven and earth. It features over a mile of narrative reliefs depicting the lives of the Buddha and his disciples, guiding pilgrims on a spiritual journey from the base to the summit. This comprehensive study explores the monument's historical, architectural, and symbolic roots, drawing from Hindu, Javanese, and Buddhist traditions. Accompanied by striking photographs and detailed maps, it offers insights into Borobudur's significance and restoration history.
