Today the Gumbad stands magestically upon a rock to the North of the town. It is a well planned, big and square monument having single chamber Inside and four minarets at each corner. It seems double storeyed from outside because of an open verandah running round it and was once used as a hideout by robbers and thieves, which probably won it. the name Chor Gumbad.

While the pre-lndus culture was still young, a new set of people occupied Banawali probably as a result of an armed conflict. They soon built a well planned and fortified township laid in the classical Indus chess 4^ board pattern. The board arterial streets, running J from north to south, have been found straight and uninterrupted, whereas those, running from east to west are usually narrow and staggered. This planning perhaps protected the town from the blistering winds % of the west and severe monsoon rains of the south east. Excavations have led to an interesting discovery.

The earliest scenes of human drama that were enacted on this stage are lost to time. Whatever can be recollected with the help of archaeology tells us that the first tool-making men appeared in the hospitable Shiwaliks of Haryana over a million years \ back. Ever since then man's quest for newer landsj frequent mass-movements from the West and Central Asia, under varied socio-political compulsions, or human thirst for religious imperialism^ caused a

■J L continual stream of immigrations into India, and every time, Haryana had to bear the heaviest burden. On the other hand, the age-old and most profitable *great road' leading to the West and inner Asia, where all important trade routes coming from China, Europe and , Africa converged, also passed through it.

STONE AGE CULTURE Early Stone Age artifacts including choppers, chopp ing tools and variety of flakes are found in the area. It is interesting to note that the same area has also yielded a different set of tools, called handaxes and cleavers in archaeological parlance, heralding the arrival of a new group of people. They made their tools more intelligently. It is, however, not clear whe ther they actually confronted each other, or learnt to live simultaneously in different localities, or one follo wed the other.

Early Stone Age toohy EUijore- area m Middle Stone Age is separated by a long cold period. Another group of men, using smaller and m finer tools, prepared more intelligently, came in to occupy the open river terraces. They probably made better use of animal hides, bones, sinews and wooden tools. Their lithicj tool out-fit included scrapers, points, borers, burins and functional flakes, and the chopper chopping tools of the elder techique, ..r-' now quite handy and light, persisted alongside. This period can be dated to about one lakh years in consonance with recent research. . Late Stone Age saw man gathering cereals with the help of composite tools like sickles made with miniature stone tools or microliths in a universal phenomenon. The find of a couple of such tools have raised much hope for further research in the State. If it is finally proven, these will be the oldest available signs of modern man.

These people were familiar with organised social life, regular farming, cattle rearing, potters wheel, copper mining, smelting and trade and commerce. This cultural stage is identical with the

It should be no wonder if Haryana is considered to be the real epicentre of all the brisk activities of these fire-eating barbarians.

FOREWORD

The State of Haryana came Into existence on November 1, 1966 and Is marching rapidly towards adulthood. Great strides have been taken in the fields of agriculture, industry, education etc. during the last two decades. To bring to light the hidden treasures of our cultural wealth, the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Haryana was set up In 1972. During the last fifteen'years of its existence, the department has excavated Important sites which include Banawall and Agroha, protected various Important sites and monuments," like the Buddhist stupta at Chanetl, Bhima Devi Temple and Takia Banwa Fakir at PInjore, brick temples at Kalayat, Prachi Shiv Temple at Piehowa, Shish Mahal at Farrukh Nagar, Chhatta Ral Balmukund. Dass at Narnaul etc. It has also collected hundreds of sculptures and terracottas, numerous coins, seals, seallngs and large number of other antiquities. To acquaint the people of the cultural, archaeological and historical wealth of the state, the department launched-last year the 'Heritage of Haryana' series with Madhava Acharya's 'Sculptures of Hindu Divinities' as Its Inaugural number which brought to light Images of great artistic and aesthetic from the departmental collection. We are glad now to present to the general public and students and savants of history, religion and art this monograph on Buddhist Remains from Haryana which Is the outcome of years of study and field-work of the author. This Is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject and I am sure that It will be regarded as a valuable addition to the existing literature on the subject and will be welcomed by all those who are Interested In the heritage of Haryana and the In the counto'-

/T INTRODUCTiON

According to a Pauranic legend, Brahma, the Lord of Creation, started creating the world in the holy land of Hafyana. The discovery of the lithic artifacts from the Siwalik frontal ranges in the north-east and Dhosi hills In southern Haryana bespeaks of the climatic congeniality and ecological equanimity which was so very essential for the inception and efflorescence of human culture in India. Haryana, thus, seems to have been the play ground of man from the prehistoric period. Its alluvial plains attracted the early farming communities from the north-west and consequently it became the cradle of one of the earliest and most grandiose of. civilizations known to the contemporary world.

The Vedic Atyans are known to have kindled the sacred sacrificial fires on the banks of the sacred Sarasvati, Drishadvati and Apaya rivers in Haryana. It has aptly been remarked by' scholar that the fertile plains of this region "rippling with bouncing harvests and teaming with multitudinous population, have been withnessing the majestic and interminable drama of the movement and migration of peoples, irruption and absorption of invaders and rise and fall of states and empires."

Haryana has acted as the window of India towards Asia, and the world at large, watching the,march of events and Ideas and contributing its own thoughts and experiences to tlie values of civilization. When the humanitarian religion propagated by the Buddha began to be a adopted popularly in the Gangetic plains, the people of Hatyana were known for their moral excellence. The seeds of Buddhism when sown in the ground fertilized by the wisdom, generosity and moral conduct of the people seem to have sprouted fast. As in other parts of the country. Buddhism in Haryana received a great fillip during the reigns of Ashoka, Kanishka and Harsha. Unfortunately, however, not much is known about Buddhism and Buddhist remains in this part of the country. We are happy to note that Sh. Devendra Handa has dug up all the literary and archaeological data in this connection and prepared this monograph on Buddhist remains in Hatyana which brings to light for the first time numerous stupas, pillars, sculptures and terracottas-from this region showing clearly that Buddhism continued to live here even after it was wiped off from the mainland. It is hoped that this monograph will help in understanding the story of development and decline of Buddhism in northern Indian and would evoke further research.

Arjun Dass Malik Director, Higher Education, Archives, & Archaeology, Haryana . PREFACE

Buddhism IS the third largest religion of the world. The eight-fold path {Astahgika-Marga} emphasizing right view, right thought, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right exertion, right and right Buddha, Magadha and Kosala were the main centres^ of humanitarianhis activities. religion.Though Duringdifferent the legends life time in theof GautamaBuddhist texts reveal that Buddha travelled even to distant places yet it seems that the religion propagated by him ^oka who spreadH the message of the Buddha not only throughout Magadha. the length It was and the breadth great ofMauiyan his vast erfiperor empire but also far beyond the shores of India. According to the Buddhist tradition, Asoka is said to have opened seven out of the eight original stupas (built after the death of t^ Buddha) and redistributed the relics among 84 000 stupas built by him throughout his empire. He is also cr red to have erected numerous monolithic pillars to propagate the essence of Dhamma. ^huiiuul pniars to

The Buddhist sfupa.symbolized the presence of the Buddha in the early period. His representation in human .form was a comparatively later development. Whether the first image of the Lord was created at or Gandhara is still debated by the scholars. The great Kusana emperor Kaniska, who ruled during the last guarter of ^e-^first century AD., gave immense patrorage to- Buddhism which travelled even to central Asia and China during his reign. He encouraged art activities also and images of Buddha seem to have become quite popular during his time. The Guptas, though themselves Parama-bhagavatas, were quite tolerant, sympathetic and even supportive to Buddhism. Fa-hien, who visited India during the reign of Candragupta II, testifies to the flourishing condition of Buddhism which spread even to distant countries. In the seventh century A.D., Buddhism seems to have received fresh encouragements at the hand of Harsavardhana. The Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang, who visited India during the reign of Harsa, has left a vivid account of the state of Buddhism in India and the keen interest and participation of the emperor In various activities of Buddhism. It seems that Buddhism began declining after eighth century A.D. and did not take long to vanish from the land of its origin.

Surprisingly enough, no Buddhist relics are known from Haryana in spite of the fact that it was one of the very irnportant religions of the country from the reign of ,^soka to that of Harsa. Even the stOpas and monasteries referred to by Hiuen Tsang at Sugh and Thanesar remained unknown till v/e discovered the Mauryan stupa at ChanetJ near Sugh in 1964-65. Our persistent efforts have enabled us to locate the existence of some other 'Stupas at Thanesar and a large number of sculptures and terracottas at various places. Our tenure as Deputy Director, Department of Archaeology & Museums, Haryana during 1984-85 provided us another opportunitv to discover some more Buddhist, remains and make a first hand study of the Buddhist materials lying unnoticed at j^rious places -and in certain private collections. We were encouraged In our efforts by Shri LM. Jain, IAS. Dr. O.P.

The well-known Indo-Greek king Menander was converted to Buddhism by Thera "' and became a great champion of this faith. Menander had his capital at Sakala, i.e., modern Slalkot (now In Pakistan). His coins have been found from' Begram r- (near Kabul) to Mathura and even" other far flung territories'^®. From Haryana, his conis have been obtained from KarnaI,'^'Ambala, Jagadharl, Sadhaura,'" Sugh,''® Rohtak,'" and some other places. Menander performed many acts of piety. Many Greeks followed Menander In adopting Buddhism, donating to Buddhist establishments and spreading the faith. They were also responsible for evolving a new style of Buddhist art which flourished in north-west India including t^e present-day Punjab and Haryana'^®. No remains which could certainly be associated with Menander or other Indo-Greeks have, however, been found from Haryana. That Buddhism continued to flourish In. Haryana during the first century before and after Christ is evidenced by a fragmentary railing pillar depicting some story in two surviving sunk nlches,'^'^ a fragmentary frieze,'" which may be part of an architrave and a triratna,^^ all found from southern Haryana and now housed In the Gurukul Museum, Jhajar. The railing pillar wi^ two rectangular panels shows four human figures In different postures representing in a lively way some narrative. The carving is in high relief showing elongate figures resembling those of the early Buddhist rock temples like Bhaja, Kondane etc.'" from which they may not be- far removed in age. The panels show balustrades below and caitya motifs carved above with pillars having animals on capitals on the sides. The tenon has also survived. Two of the four human figures in both the panels are smaller in size and probably represent two children of the couple. The fragmentary frieze which we regard to be a part of the architrave of a torana shows a prominent retrorse lion on one end and th.ree human figures of which- the central one is a female holding a garland in two hands raised to the level of the shoulders (Fig. 9). The- male figure between her and the lion is holding some object which looks like an ornamented vase. He has a beautifully fluttering scarf around his shoulders.

It is common knowledge that before the evolution of Buddha/Bodhisattva image," Tathagata was worshipped iri the form of a symbol - stupa, cakra, Bodhi-tree etc Here, we see that the triratna supports a wheel. So this symbol cannot be taken lldtr :i' here to represent the Buddha, the Dhamma and ^eSaijigha as is generally believed, for in that case there will be a duplication of Buddha's representation.

The ^aka Chief Maues moved, subsequently towards India and succeeded in holding his sway over a considerable part of the country upto Mathura at least.

Kaniska issued coins with the figures of Buddha, Sakyamuni and which bear even the label inscriptions leaving absolutely no cavil whatsoever regarding their I identity.

Kaniska was not only a great king but also a great patron of Buddhism. His reign is considered to be a landmark in the history of Buddhism. "Tradition not only, represents him as a great patron of religion but.also associates him with a galaxy of Buddhist masters who shaped Buddhism in later times", observes Bagchl. He continues to say that "It was in this Torso of Buddha from Rohtak period that the Indo-Greek school of Buddhist art Buddhist texts.

The Kusanas in Hatyana were succeeded by the Yaudheyas who worshipped Karttikeya as their titulary deity. In the absence of royal patronage. Buddhism seems to have been on the decline after the Kusanas. The Guptas, who subjugated the Yaudheyas . though tolerant towards other religions, were mainly I Bhagavatas. Fahien, who visited India during the reign of Candragupta II, describes to have seen stupas on both sides of the Yamuna'^' but mentions no particular site of Haryaria. That Buddhism continued" to be popular with the masses during the Gupta i.tt' period is evidenced by a Bodhisattva head (Fig. 24) ,in the common man's art obtained from the excavations 14 at Agrota'". Buddhism, however, seems to have received a fresh lease during the reign of the Pus- pabhutis. Rajyavardhana has been mentioned as Parama-Saugata In Har^a's Madhuvan and Banskhera inscriptions'".

Cross-bar showing a stupa In a medallion, Lalpura Haryana during the early Kusana period may be judged from a small spotted red. sandstone cross-bar (Fig. 15) measuring 24 x 15 cm.,found from Lalpura (Rohtak)'''^ This sud shows a stupa In a medallion against the background of a lotus shaped lunate in its upper portion"". It also indicates the existence of a stupa at Rohtak in the early Kusana period. The medhi and the aoda are separated by a railed circumam- bulatlon atnearly half the height ofthe sfupawhich is surmounted by a balustuated harmika with an umbrella attached to which seem to be two very large floral garlands hanging down almost to the ground level on either side.

The stupa Is slightly elongated and is more evolved than the stupa In the Bhaja cai^a"*^.

A Kusana stupa may have existed at Bhuna (29°55'N and TS^IS'E) near Fatehabad. Bhuna has a ¥ very large and lofty mound more than 25 metres high, and the present town Is partially located on the ancient site. A railing pillar of spotted red sandstone (Fig. 16) measuring 96 x 23 cm., has been found from this site'"'. It was carved on both the sides. The carved faces are compartmented from bottom upwards into a succession of panels, separated from one another, by a railing-motif. The subject-matter of the panels seems to be mundane, showing a couple in love postures. In this pillar, there were three compart ments, the lowermost Is almost gone but for its top portion, the middle one shows a male seated on a high stool in sukhasana trying to loosen the girdle of his spouse who is standing gracefully putting her left arm around his neck (Fig. 17). The venue of the scene is a pillared pavilion with open sides. The pillars supporting the roof are having ghata base placed over square mouldings, tapering octagonal shafts over which are slightly projecting members of the shape Railing pillar from Bhuna 19 80.

To resolve a controversy which arose following Buddha's death over his relics, a Brahmana named Drona, is said to have divided them into eight equal parts which were given to king .^atasatru of Magadha. the LicchavTs of Vaisali, the $akyas of Kapilavastu, the Bulis of Allakappa, the Mallas of Ku^Inagara, the Mallas of Pava, the of Ramagrama and a Brahmaiia of Vethadvipa for erecting stOpas over the corporeal relics. The Moriyas of Pipphallvana who reached after the distritDution, took charcoal from the funeral pyre for erecting a stupa at their capital and Dropa himself, too, erected a stOpa over the urn in,which.the body relics were collected and divided. 82. He could not reopen the stupas of Ramagrama because of the opposition of the Koliyas. There is, however, another tradition that Asoka obtained the corporeal relics of Buddha from an underground chamber-of Rajagrha where Ajatasatru had seceretly deposited the relics of seven of the original sarJrika stupas. 83.

Dear Shri Vijay Vardhan, I have been appointed by the Ministry of Culture to curate the exhibition on the theme of'The Body in Indian Art'at Brussels, Belgium for the Government of India. The Exhibition will be held at the prestigious Bozar Galleries in the heart of Brussels and is to be inaugurated by the Heads of States of both India and Belgium, on 4 October 2013. Europalia, the nodal agency in Brussels, is a not-for-profit organization (with strong links to the Government of Belgium and the EU) which hosts major festivals every two years in Brussels, which, being the Headquarters of the European Union, makes it an important festival for the whole of Europe. The exhibition will close in January 2014. I have been invited to curate the exhibition, and the concept for the exhibition is in place. Of the eight large galleries in the exhibition I specifically need to " see objects from the Haiyana State Museum, Panchkula (which falls under the Archaeological Department) I will be arriving in Haiyana on the 21st of Februaiy 2013 and will be accompanied by my exhibition manger, Ms. Amrisha Sarin and research assistant, Ms. Avani Sood. I look forward to our meeting and thank you in advance for your co-operation.
