This edited volume programmatically reconsiders the creative
contribution of the littoral and insular regions of Maritime Asia
to shaping new paradigms in the Buddhist and Hindu art and
architecture of the mediaeval Asian world. Far from being a mere
southern conduit for the maritime circulation of Indic religions,
in the period from ca. the 7th to the 14th century those regions
transformed across mainland and island polities the rituals, icons,
and architecture that embodied these religious insights with a
dynamism that often eclipsed the established cultural centres in
Northern India, Central Asia, and mainland China. This collective
body of work brings together new research aiming to recalibrate the
importance of these innovations in art and architecture, thereby
highlighting the cultural creativity of the monsoon-influenced
Southern rim of the Asian landmass.
