How did Greeks include Buddhist art to the Gandhara style?

Greeks influenced the Gandhara style of Buddhist art primarily through the interaction of Hellenistic culture with the region following Alexander the great's conquests. This cultural exchange led to the incorporation of Greek artistic elements, such as realistic anatomical proportions, drapery, and narrative reliefs, into Buddhist iconography. As a result, figures of the Buddha and bodhisattvas were depicted with Greek-style features, including wavy hair and serene expressions, blending Eastern spirituality with Western artistic techniques. This synthesis helped establish a distinctive visual language that characterized Gandhara art.
