EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mankiala stupa, a remarkable Buddhist temple located on the Potohar plateau in Punjab, near Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Dating back to the 19th century, this architectural marvel holds immense historical and religious significance. According to legend, it is believed that Buddha himself made a profound sacrifice at this very site - offering parts of his own body to feed seven starving tiger cubs. The image beautifully captures the grandeur of this sacred place of worship. The stupa stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills, exuding an air of tranquility and spirituality. Its intricate design and unique architectural style are truly awe-inspiring.

It serves as a testament to human devotion and faith throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this illustration from Ken Welsh's collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a physical structure but also an embodiment of legends passed down through generations.
