Sculptures are representational divinity in India whose origin and end is expressed through the religion and the spiritual beliefs. It is tough to state that when and where the first Buddha images appeared in the sculptural form and scholars have different opinion on this. It has been argued that the Buddha image is of Greek origin and first came into being at Gandhāra or in India proper, Buddha image known to be earlier than the first century A.D. It is admitted that Buddhist figures in Gandhāra are adaptations of western types
