The architectural layout of Subashi, particularly the distinct East and West sections divided by the Muzart River, underscores its monumental scale and strategic design as a comprehensive monastic city. Excavations have unearthed a wealth of Indic cultural markers, including numerous wooden tablets inscribed with the ancient Kharoshthi script and fragments bearing Brahmi characters, which were pivotal for the transmission of Buddhist doctrines and administrative records. The presence of stucco sculptures exhibiting strong Gandharan artistic influences, depicting Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, further testifies to the direct artistic lineage from ancient India, establishing Subashi as a crucial conduit for the visual language of Dharma. Subashi served as a preeminent center for the Sarvastivada school of Buddhism, a prominent branch with deep roots in Kashmir and Gandhara, indicating a specific doctrinal connection that shaped its intellectual and spiritual life. The monastery's decline is intricately linked to the geopolitical shifts following the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Kucha in 648 CE, which gradually eroded the royal patronage and cultural environment that had sustained such a vast Buddhist complex. This shift, coupled with the later advent of Islam in the region, marked the eventual abandonment of Subashi, transforming it from a vibrant monastic hub into the significant archaeological ruin it is today, preserving a profound chapter of Indic cultural expansion.
