This study deals with examples of Buddhist and Sivaite dvarapalas
or temple-guardians from mainland Southeast Asia, compared to
examples from Indonesia which are still in situ, that is to say on
their original location, within the architectural layout of
Buddhist and Sivsite sanctuaries. Two issues are dealt with.
Firstly, that foreign frameworks (notably from southern India,
southern Vietnam and Cambodia) iconographically and stylistically
founded the dvarapala in Indonesia. Secondly, that the dvarapala in
this latter area is the outcome of a distinct acculturation process
of adoption and reinterpretation, based on local developments. This
book contributes to knowledge of the dvaralapa, and as well as the
text, provides a collection of 100 black-and-white plates of
dvarapala statues. It is suitable for archaeologists, and those
interested in Asian iconography and cultural history.
