Description

Wider Bagan: Ancient and Living Buddhist Traditions is the first book to define the area outside the renowned Buddhist capital where vestiges of Bagan era cultural traditions can be found.

From nearly six hundred attributes inventoried in Wider Bagan, thematic and geographical analysis of the Wider Bagan data reveals a related but different trajectory from that of the capital.

The Sasan? of the court was honoured, and though its economy profited many places across Wider Bagan, local resilience was foremost.

While the capital and Wider Bagan existed in relation to each other, their aims and narratives differed.

Much has been written about Bagan, but little attention on the ground has been devoted to areas beyond the capital.

These places have stories to tell—ones of the past and of the present—that are narrated in this book.
