A GUIDE TO SARNATH - B MAJUMDAR





A GUIDE TO SARNATH - B MAJUMDAR


RATING: C+

The first two chapters, dealing with Buddhism and the history of Sarnath are both informative and useful to me. There then enters a somewhat dry and descriptive chapter pertaining to the monuments, akin to a guide. This is followed by information concerning the museum, completing the book. The book was originally written in the 20th Century but remains a valid guide to Sarnath today.

I would recommend the book to those interested in knowing what is in Sarnath to be viewed or to those interested in the history of Sarnath, although personally I got more from the text concerning Buddhism than on Sarnath itself.
