Looking at Gandhāra
HISTORIA I ŚWIAT, nr 4 (2015) ISSN 2299-2464 Kumar ABHIJEET (Magadh University, India) Looking at Gandhāra Keywords: Art History, Silk Route, Gandhāra It is not the object of the story to convey a happening per se, which is the purpose of information; rather, it embeds it in the life of the storyteller in order to pass it on as experience to those listening. It thus bears the marks of the storyteller much as the earthen vessel bears the marks of the potter's hand. —Walter Benjamin, "On Some Motifs in Baudelaire" Discovery of Ancient Gandhāra The beginning of the 19th century was revolutionary in terms of western world scholars who were eager to trace the conquest of Alexander in Asia, in speculation of the route to India he took which eventually led to the discovery of ancient Gandhāra region (today, the geographical sphere lies between North West Pakistan and Eastern Afghanistan). In 1808 CE, Mountstuart Elphinstone was the first British envoy sent in Kabul when the British went to win allies against Napoleon. He believed to identify those places, hills and vineyard described by the itinerant Greeks or the Greek Sources on Alexander's campaign in India or in their memory of which the Macedonian Commanders were connected. It is significant to note that the first time in modern scholarship the word “Thupa (Pali word for stupa)” was used by him.1 This site was related to the place where Alexander’s horse died and a city called Bucephala (Greek. Βουκεφάλα ) was erected by Alexander the Great in honor of his black horse with a peculiar shaped white mark on its forehead. -

Decorative Motifs on Pedestals of Gandharan Sculptures: a Case Study of Peshawar Museum
Decorative Motifs on Pedestals of Gandharan Sculptures: A Case Study of Peshawar Museum FAWAD KHAN Abstract Gandhara is famous for its art and architecture. Peshawar Valley laps a considerable number of Buddhist monasteries which yielded narrative reliefs from the life of Buddha and individual sculptures of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Peshawar Museum houses a copious collection of Gandharan sculptures. These sculptures have been artistically adorned with decorative motifs of both indigenous and foreign cultural elements. Most intriguingly, pedestals are provided with narrative scenes as well as individual motifs to enhance the beauty of Gandharan stone sculptures. This research paper will reveal an analysis of decorative motifs on pedestal of Gandharan sculptures of Peshawar Museum. Keywords: Gandhara, Peshawar Museum, Pedestals, Decorative Motifs Introduction Gandhara is spanning over an area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Taxila valley which lies in northern Punjab, lower Indus valley and whole of Kashmir. Actually the region of Gandharan is triangular in shape abut 100km in east and west and 70km in north and south. An extension of Gandhara art crossed the geographical barriers and extended up to Eastern Afghanistan, Uddiyana, and Balkh, Swat valley, Dir, Buner, Bajaur and Peshawar valley to Kashmir (Khan et al 2005: 07). While according to the recent research, the cultural influence of Gandhāra even reached up to the valley of the Jhelum River in the east (Dar 2007: 54-55). Literature Review In the western aspects of Gandhara sculptures (1945) H. Buchthal mentions Greek as well as Roman cultural influences on Gandharan sculptures along with their native symbolism on Gandhara art. Gandhara (1985) by Francine Tissot focuses on the geography, art and architecture and political history of ancient Gandhara. -

Jamālgarhī The Buddhist monastery of Jamālgarhī is one of the major archaeological sites in the Peshawar valley. Situated on top of a hill, the site covers an area of approximately 190 m x 165 m, overlooking a village to its south (Fig. 1). Two other major Gandhāran sites, Takht-ī-Bahī and Sahrī Bahlol, are located in its vicinity to the south-west. Alexander Cunningham discovered Jamālgarhī in 1848 (Cunningham 1848), and four years later, two British officers, Lieutenant Stokes of the Horse Artillery and Lieutenant Lumsden of the Guide Corps, carried out a survey at the site (Bayley 1852). Major excavations took place in 1873 when Cunningham, then the Director of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), excavated the Main Stupa area (Cunningham 1875), and later in the same year when Lieutenant A. Crompton excavated associated courtyards, halls and monastic buildings for the Punjab Government, with the main objective to collect sculptures for the Lahore Museum (Crompton 1974a; 1974b). Further excavations and conservation were carried out by the ASI under the direction of Harold Hargreaves between 1920 and 1923 (Hargreaves 1921; 1922/23; 1924). Fig. 1 Site plan of Jamālgarhī.
