The Mansar FindsArchaeological excavations near the village of Mansar (Maharashtra), 47km north of Nagpur and 5km west of the Rāmagiri (Ramtek), have brought to light an astonishing temple (Pravareśvara) and residential complex (Pravarapura) along with a collection of superb sculptures and other artefacts, which date to the first half of the 5th century CE when the Vākāţaka monarchs, Prabhāvatī Guptā and Pravarasena ruled the area. Altogether 5 sites have been excavated (MNS 1-5).The British Museum Symposium (2008) and its ProceedingsIn order to discuss these new discoveries, an international symposium was organized in the British Museum, 30 June – 1 July, 2008. It was attended by eighteen scholars from three continents. They contributed to a lively debate at the round table, and many of them read a paper; these, in revised and detailed form, are collected in the volume that is published here: Hans Bakker (ed.), Mansar: The Discovery of Pravareśvara and Pravarapura, Temple and Residence of the Vakataka King Pravarasena II.
