Terai region of Lumbini Zone situated between Narayani and Rapti rivers is an important site for the Buddhist as well as Archaeologist. This region was associated with the Sakyas and Koliya at Kapilvastu and Ramagrama (Devadaha) respectively in ancient period. Lumbini, the birth place of Lord Buddha, Kapilvastu, capital town of Sakyas, Ramagrama (Devadaha), maternal house of Buddha, and other ancient archaeological sites are located in this region. This book throws light on history, archaeological sites, identification of ancient Buddhist sites, especially Lumbini, Kapilvastu and Ramagrama, art, architecture and touristic importance of the region. The book contains geography and history of the region in brief and excavated and explored sites from where a number of art-remains has been obtained in course of archaeological activities. In the fourth chapter various Buddhist texts, excavated reports, versions of eminent scholars and Chinese account have been discussed to identify the ancient capital town of Kapilvastu. The evidences suggested that this region along with some portion of North-India, including Ganawaria and Piparahawa, had been a part of the ancient Kapilvastu. In the fifth chapter, the art-remains, viz. stone sculptures, other stone objects, humans and animals terracotta figurines, other terracotta objects, seals and sealings, coins, potteries etc. are incorporated. The result of the analysis of terracotta figurines has been incorporated here, highlighting the origin, typology and stylistic evolution of the principal forms, their techniques and contexts. This helps us to place the changing art forms and style from the pre-Mauryan to Pala-Sena periods in proper perspective. The earliest figurines are related to the female group. Terracotta trading and industries associated with them were similar to the contemporaneous sites in North-India, specially Hastinapur, Ahichchhatra, Kausambi, Taxila, Sohagaura and Arikamedu. On the basis of these sites relative dating has been adopted in the region. Pottery of various traditions, e.g. P.G.W., N.B.P. and Red wares were also discovered which helped us in fixing the chronology. The book goes into a deep study of archaeological sites and art-remains which helps for preservation and conservation to the authorities in future. Photographs, drawings and maps have been included to make the volume more authentic, informative and attractive. Printed Pages: 523. First Edition New Hard Cover 14 Cms x 23 Cms; First Edition

1-56731-692-1 As New Condition

Famous for talking about things people think about but don't always say aloud, Brenda Kinsel tackles underwear, the booty, and the nightmare of shopping with kids ? all while helping women make sense of the fashion world. She helps every woman have a healthier relationship with herself by taking a lighter look at hang-ups and a deeper look at fashion traps. This book takes 40 over 40 one step further, with more product information, more how-to specifics, more tools and interviews, and more expert commentary. Synopsis In the Beginning, There Were Fig Leaves It's a lot like a Zen koan: In order to forget about clothes, you have to think about them. "HONEY, HAVE YOU SEEN MY FIG LEAF?" Adam called to Eve from across the grove of Japanese maple trees in the Garden of Eden. "No, Sweetie, but have you checked the forest floor? I don't know how many times I've tripped over it on the way to the waterfall." In the beginning, it was paradise. Clothes didn't matter. Eve wasn't rushing off to the office; Adam wasn't trading stocks online. There were no bills to pay, no in-laws to impress, no performance reports to worry about. There was no shame in nakedness. Heck, there was no alternative! Not until Eve took a bite out of that darn fruit did either of them give any thought to suits, ties, shirts, belts, bras, panties, boxers, slips, nylons, socks, blouses, T-shirts, skirts, dresses, or shoes. You might look at the first couple-before the whole fruit-snake scandal thing happened-and say those were the good ole days. But you know when someone says that, they're missing the obvious. These are the good ole days right now, fully clothed. Once original sin happened and Adam and Eve were embarrassed by their nakedness, the wonderful door opened to dress-up clothes, dress-down clothes, date clothes, work clothes, gardening clothes, travel clothes, trendy clothes, classic clothes, clean clothes, and dirty clothes. We are experiencing heaven right here on earth, with clothes on. I'm sure she had the vision. I think she was secretly stringing leaves together and making peplum jackets with matching skirts and accessorizing them with twig brooches that had little berries hanging from them, because it is our nature to adorn. God made us that way. Even though there may not be an exact passage about that in the Bible, I feel really confident about that fact. Eve would have had Adam in a tux by that first New Year's Eve, you just know it. It's woman's nature to decorate, to futz with things, to create something out of not much of anything. Isn't that how a lot of "Eves" hook up with their "Adams"? The light bulb goes off once she's dated him for a few weeks and she thinks, "Gosh, I could make something out of this guy!" So she marries him and gleefully dives into the project of molding a terrific guy out of an ordinary one. But wait-I'm supposed to be talking about fashion, aren't I? For those of you who are convinced nakedness was best, let me show you how wearing clothes can feel just like being naked: you know what it's like when you put something on that's just right for your body, your coloring, your lifestyle, your comfort zone, and you go out in the world and completely forget about how you're dressed. It's out of the way. There's nothing about your clothes that distracts you or others. They just are, so you can just be. In the very same way that Adam and Eve weren't worrying about clothes, neither are you. It's a lot like a Zen koan: In order to forget about clothes, you have to think about them. And if you think about them, put some time into them, then you can promptly forget about them. Two Times Will Do You Have you heard the term C & E Christians? They are Christians who make a point of getting to church at least twice a year-at Christmas and Easter. That may not be your schedule, but that's about the number of times you'd need to study your wardrobe in a year to be like Adam and Eve, not thinking about clothes. Here's what you'd have to do.
