In the religious landscape of early medieval (c. AD 600-1200) Bihar
and Bengal, poly-religiosity was generally the norm than an
exception, which entailed the evolution of complex patterns of
inter-religious equations. Buddhism, Brahmanism and Jainism not
only coexisted but also competed for social patronage, forcing them
to enter into complex interactions with social institutions and
processes. Through an analysis of the published archaeological
data, this work explores some aspects of the social history of
Buddhist, Brahmanical and Jaina temples and shrines, and Buddhist
stupas and monasteries in early medieval Bihar and Bengal. This
archaeological history of religions questions many 'established'
textual reconstructions, and enriches our understanding of the
complex issue of the decline of Buddhism in this area. Please note:
