Havell, from the recovery of some architectural and sculptural finds at Nālandā remarked, "They (the Universities of Nālandā and Takṣaśilā) were schools of art and crafts."⁵ How much more true will this remark appear when Nālandā has yielded within the course of a decade hundreds of sculptures in bronze, and stone and some of the most unique specimens of arched niches! It is almost impossible to have so many sculptures without a regular school of arts and crafts.
