{"product_id":"buddha-in-central-asia-sunita-dwivedi-9788129134677","title":"Buddha in Central Asia: A Travelogue","description":"Intrepid author, traveller and researcher, Sunita Dwivedi set out on an exhaustive journey through Central Asia in search of ancient statutes of Buddha. Retracing the paths forged by great Buddhist monks over the centuries, she negotiated scorching deserts, lush meadows, dry steppe lands, snow-capped mountains and gushing river valleys to chronicle the life and times of the many Budh viharas in which these statues had been instated. Drawing upon her extensive sojourns, Sunita recreates in this volume the bygone eras in which these shrines were once great centres of learning and devotion. And, juxtaposing past grandeur with the dereliction of the present, Sunita brings back to vivid life the holy path of dharma these viharas once espoused.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunita Dwivedi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8129134675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788129134677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rupa Publications India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Sunita Dwivedi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153920176383,"sku":"9788129134677","price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94d2f897-332d-4d60-b687-09ac49972d56.jpg?v=1770786725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/buddha-in-central-asia-sunita-dwivedi-9788129134677","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
