CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
Beginning with a few aniconic symbols, like foot print, a throne, the Bo tree or stupas, in the prechristian Indian art, Buddhism came to evolve a varity of picturesque representation of a Self-Existent, Superimmanent Principle: in myriad forms and emanations that range from the superbly magnificent to sheerly grotseque. Endowed with diverse iconographic attributes, Buddhist Deities / Saints / demons have grown, over the rolling centuries, into bewildering numbers, legions.
