Abstract
The article is dedicated to the monument of historical and cultural heritage of the Buddhist monastery of Ajina-Teppa. When carrying out archaeological excavations, a large number of works of sculpture, painting and Buddha in nirvana were found here. Ajina-Teppa is a testament to the merging of traditions and images of Indian art into one organic whole with local, Bactrian-Toharistani ones. This monument is also important for identifying the origins of ties and interaction of cultures of the peoples of Central Asia, which are rooted in antiquity.
