Description
This comic retells two Buddhist tales: the story of Amrapali, the accomplished dancer and nagarvadhu of ancient Vaishali, and Upagupta, a disciple of Buddha. The synopsis in available sources highlights Amrapali’s transformation in search of peace and notes that the tale is rooted in the Maha-Parinibbana Sutta and related traditions.
The cover presents a colorful vintage design suited to its historical and spiritual subject matter, with visible creasing and slight fading that suggest age but preserve its classic illustrated appeal.
