		The first outside influence to enrich the later Gupta style was Chinese, evident in the statues of Parihasapura which had T'ang prototypes.
		This Chinese influence was superseded by other influences, all of which -- Kanauj, later Gupta, Gandharan, and Roman -- synthesized to create the characteristic medieval art of Kashmir during the last years of King Lalitaditya Muktapida.
		This style, with its characteristic postures, costumes, and religious iconography, is evident in the last additions to the Martand temple, sanctuaries of Buniyar and Bandi, Narastan, Wangath (Jyeshthesa), and Firozpur-Drang.
