Relics of the Buddha and prominent renunciates were at the heart of Buddhism. The religion, introduced from Central India in the third century BCE to parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan, became strongly embedded in the socio-political fabric of the Kushan kingdom from the first till the fourth century CE. Through the synergies between art history, religious studies, philology and archaeology, GRAVE proposes to provide a comprehensive understanding of the conceptualization of relic veneration in Gandhara art between the 1st and the 4th centuries CE. Building an image database identifying the types of relics, figures, actions and ritual accoutrements as a basis, GRAVE contextualises the visual material in its socio-religious context by analysing contemporary Gandhari relic donative inscriptions and later Chinese accounts of relic veneration in the region. GRAVE is timely as it moves beyond traditional analysis of forms that end in an aesthetic interplay of artistic styles and towards the connection between art and socio-religious praxis. GRAVE will also survey Buddhist practitioners and visitors of leading UK museum collections of Gandharan art to understand their perception of relic rituals. For the first time, GRAVE will explore repetition, performativity, and ritual communication related to Gandharan relics in a systematic way while simultaneously understanding the perception of Buddhist relics by modern followers.The training of Ashwini Lakshminarayanan as an experienced researcher at Cardiff University will ensue along these interdisciplinary lines in tune with the objectives of GRAVE. The detailed scientific and career development objectives with a complete integration within the School of History, Archaeology and Religion (SHARE at CU) and a secondment at the DiGA project (Center for Religious Studies at Ruhr-Universität Bochum) will guarantee mutual beneficial success for the host and the partner organisations and ensure high employability for the researcher.

佛陀的遗物和著名的放弃是佛陀的核心。从公元前三世纪中部引入的宗教，从印度中部到巴基斯坦和阿富汗的一部分，从第一世纪至公元四世纪从库山王国的社会政治结构中强烈嵌入。通过艺术史，宗教研究，语言学和考古学之间的协同作用，旨在对甘达拉艺术中的遗产企业概念化的严格理解，从而提供了公元1至4世纪之间的甘达拉艺术中的概念化。通过分析当代甘达里（Gandhari）的遗物遗物铭文，后来又将中国关于该地区的Relic Venture的说法，构建一个图像数据库，以确定遗物，数字，行动和仪式的类型作为基础，使视觉材料在其社会宗教背景下与视觉材料相关。 Grave是及时的，因为它超越了以艺术风格的美学相互作用以及与艺术与社会宗教实践之间联系的审美相互作用而结束的形式的传统分析。 Grave还将调查英国领先的甘达兰艺术博物馆收藏的佛教从业者和游客，以了解他们对遗物仪式的看法。 Grave首次将以系统的方式探索与Gandharan遗物相关的重复，表现和礼节沟通，同时了解现代追随者对佛教遗物的感知。培训Ashwini Lakshminarayanan作为Cardiff University的Ashwini Lakshminarayanan培训将沿着这些跨学科的研究人员进行，以探讨Grave的跨学科线索。详细的科学和职业发展目标，在历史学院，考古学和宗教学院（在CU上）进行了完整的整合，并在Diga项目（Ruhr-Universitätbochum的宗教研究中心）进行了第二次融合，将保证对宿主和伙伴组织的相互利益成功，并确保研究人员的高级就业。
