This text explores the spread of Buddhism and shrine-building throughout Asia. It features architectural plans, elevations and diagrams covering a range of places from the Potala to Thuparama Dagaba.

Lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs, this book is a pictorial that explores the spread of Buddhism and stupa building across Asia and India. Attempts to encapsulate the durable appeal of the stupa - one of the oldest religious symbols still in use - collide with the vast and varied history of stupa building.
