Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"Bodhgayā has long been recognized as the place where the Buddha achieved enlightenment.
This book brings together the recent work of twelve scholars from a variety of disciplines
- anthropology, art history, history, and religion - to highlight their various findings
and perspectives on different facets of Bodhgayā's past and present. Through an engaging
and critical overview of the place of Buddha's enlightenment, the book discusses the
dynamic and contested nature of this site, and looks at the tensions with the on-going
efforts to define the place according to particular histories or identities. It addresses
many aspects of Bodhgayā, from speculation about why the Buddha chose to sit beneath
a tree in Bodhgayā, to the contemporary struggles over tourism development, education
and non-government organizations, to bring to the foreground the site's longevity,
reinvention and current complexity as a UNESCO World Heritage monument in the north
Indian state of Bihar. The book is a useful contribution for students and scholars
of Buddhism and South Asian Studies"--
