Excerpt from History of Indian and Eastern Architecture, Vol. 2 Meanwhile one thing seems tolerably clear, that the religion Of the Buddhists and that Of the Jains were SO Similar to one another, both in their origin and their development and doctrines, that their architecture must also at first have been nearly the same. In consequence of this, if we could trace back Jaina art from about the year 1000, when practically we first meet it, to the year 600 or 700, when we lose sight Of Buddhist art, we should probably find the two very much alike. Or if, on the other hand, we could trace Buddhist art from ad. 600 to AD 1000, we Should as probably find it developing itself into something like the temples on Mount Ai, and elsewhere, at that period Of time.
