From Vijayapurī to Śrīkṣetra? The beginnings of Buddhist exchange across the Bay of Bengal
01 AUGUST 17
From 31st July to 7th August, the Pondicherry Centre of the EFEO hosted a conference called From Vijayapurī to Śrīkṣetra? The beginnings of Buddhist exchange across the Bay of Bengal. The conference was organised by Arlo Griffiths within the framework of the collaborative research project with the slightly longer title “From Vijayapurī to Śrīkṣetra? The beginnings of Buddhist exchange across the Bay of Bengal as witnessed by inscriptions from Andhra Pradesh and Myanmar”. The project, centered around epigraphic evidence, has been carried out over the years 2015–2017 by an international team of scholars and coordinated by the EFEO. Twenty-seven specialists in Indian and Burmese antiquity spent four days together to present pluri-disciplinary research on inscriptions from the first millennium in the Andhra region in India and on the Pyu sites in Burma.
