ebooks Radha: From Gopi to Goddess by Harsha V. Dehejia in History

Description

Burmese wooden monasteries and related pavilions have not received the scholarly attention they deserve. This is unfortunate given the ephemeral nature of wood in a damp; tropical climate; with voracious insect life and the ever-present risk of floods; fire and earthquakes. Many extant structures are in a very dilapidated condition; the original donors have moved away; and/or their descendants no longer have adequate financial resources to maintain their forbears' work.
