| Abstract: | Pāṭaliputr was the legendary city of ancient India for nearly a millennium (450 BCE to 550 CE) and was the capital of Haryaṅk, Śiśunāg, Nand, Maurya, Śuṅg, Kaṇv, Mitr, Gupt, and Later Gupt. Various archaeological materials have been found in the city in the last couple of centuries, and terracotta objects are one of them. The city is highly prosperous in terms of terracotta objects, which have been recovered throughout the city. These are found in almost all periods from the 5th century BCE to the 5th century C.E. Terracotta figures and figurines are precious for understanding the ancient history of Pāṭaliputr. It is highly essential for a detailed understanding of religious and socio-cultural contexts. Terracotta figures are used for religious and plaything purposes, so they can be used to explore the religious beliefs of ancient Patna, i.e., Pāṭaliputr. The detailed study of dresses and ornaments of these antiquities helps in perceiving the dressing and ornamentation of the city from the earliest period. However, a thorough and collective study of these antiquities on various themes is yet to be done. So, aiming at the abovementioned themes, this research extracts unique and fresh information on the city's religious beliefs and socio-cultural practices. This research also discusses the fabricating techniques of terracotta objects of various periods. |
