The Gandhara school of thought is known for its focus on artistic representations of scenes from the life of Buddha, particularly through detailed sculptures and reliefs. It was influenced by both Indian and Greco-Roman art styles and emerged in northwest Pakistan around the 1st century BCE. Compared to other schools like Mathura and Amaravati, Gandhara is distinct for its narrative depictions of Buddha's life events.
