In February 2017, I was invited by RIS to deliver lectures in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as a part of the ASEAN-India Eminent Persons' Lecture Series Programme, which provided me an opportunity to travel to several World Heritage Sites in Vietnam. This was followed by visits to Thailand and Indonesia. Another opportunity arose in February - March 2018 when I was invited by the Fine Arts Department, Thailand to contribute to a volume edited by Amara Srisuchat on Featuring Buddhist Imagery from Bharata to Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok, 2018 on the occasion of an exhibition marking the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Thailand and India and 25 years of relations between ASEAN and India.
The Archaeological Survey of India needs to be thanked for visuals of WH sites in India. I have also sourced photographs from Dr. Debdutta Ray and from my personal collection. Dr. Susan Verma Mishra has helped in the preparation of the Appendices and three of the papers. Finally, it is to the credit of the publisher Mr. Vikas Arya that he came forward and agreed to convert the manuscript into an elegant book.
