Ltd, bVintage Books: c Haryana.  a193p.   aMuch about Nalanda remains shrouded in mystery. When was it founded? Who founded it? Who studied and taught there? What subjects were offered? How many students and teachers were there? Was Nalanda a university in the modern sense? And what ultimately led to its downfall? Nalanda by Abhay K. unravels these questions, telling the story of the rise, fall, and re-rise of Nalanda Mahavihara. Through extensive research, the book explores Nalanda’s contributions in fields such as science, mathematics, philosophy, art, architecture, and poetry. It also highlights the great luminaries who elevated its unparalleled reputation as the preeminent seat of knowledge, as well as the foreign scholars who visited the celebrated monastery.  aNalandaaHistory  cBK2ddc  c49559d49559  00102ddc4070aMAINbMAINcRN39d2026-04-03e48g390.00l1m1o954.14 ABHp38500q2027-02-16r2026-06-08 00:00:00s2026-06-08v699.00w2026-04-03yBKzRecommended by Prof. Sumit Mitra
