More about the book
Transcending architecture and archaeology, the stupa is the living embodiment of Buddhist teachings – a harmonising of the physical with the spiritual.

This beautifully illustrated, full-colour hardback explores the spread of stupa building across India and Asia, encapsulating the lasting appeal and allure of stupas to travellers, scholars and those interested in architecture and religion. Buddhist Stupas in The Shape of Perfection is a lavish exploration of this religious and architectural icon of Asia and India.
