Synopsis

This book is a humble attempt by the author to present the holistic view of Buddhist Mathura. This book ex-plores all the literary references available about Ma-thura and the nearby region in the ancient Buddhist literature. An attempt has been made by the author to identify those sites mentioned in the literature with the archaeological sites found during explorations. The author has also delved in the accounts of Chinese pil-grims Fa-hian and Hiuen-Tsang related with Mathura and has tried to verify those accounts. A new light has been thrown on the visits of the Buddha to the land of Braj and the probable routes which the Master would have followed.
