Item description from seller

Language: ENGLISH. About the Book:-The creation of a local Museum at Sarnath was due to the initiative of Dr. J. H. Marshall, Director-General of Archaeology in India, who during two seasons personally conducted the excavations on this important Buddhist site. The plans were prepared by James Ransome, late Consulting Architect to the Government of India. As at the end of the cold season of 1908-09, when the building was nearly completed, Dr Marshall proceeded home on long leave, it fell to the author task to take measures for the proper arrangement of the sculptures in the new quarters. The work of arranging and labelling was done in the cold season following under the personal supervision of Lala Daya Ram Sahni, who had taken an active part in Dr. Marshall's explorations, and was, therefore, well qualified for the task. At the same time he prepared a catalogue of the exhibits which is now offered to the public. The labels on the objects themselves are of necessity very brief, and it has, therefore, been their aim in the present catalogue to embody all information which may be of interest both to the dilettante and to the expert. The order followed in listing the exhibits are chiefly chronological. It contains 29 fine plates to delineate this subject properly. About the Author:-Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni CIE (1879 – 1939) was an Indian archaeologist who supervised the excavation of the Indus valley site at Harappa in 1921-22. A protégé of John Marshall, in 1931, Sahni became the first Indian to be appointed Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), a position in which he served till 1935. He hailed from the city of Bhera in Shahpur district, Punjab where he was born on 16th December 1879. He graduated in Sanskrit from the Punjab University with a gold medal. He also topped the M. A. examination from the Oriental College in 1903. As a result of these accomplishments, Sahni won the Sanskrit scholarship sponsored by the Archaeological Survey of India and recruited by the survey on completion of his education. In 1903, Sahni was posted to the Punjab and United Provinces circle where he worked under J. Ph. Vogel. Sahni was involved in the excavation of Kasia in 1905 and Rajgir in Bihar under John Marshall in January–February 1906. In September 1907, Sahni assisted Marshall in the excavation of a stupa at Rampurva in Champaran district. He also prepared a catalogue of archaeological ruins at Sarnath.
