5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Guide to Hindu Iconography, October 10, 2004

Michael Gunther (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: An Encyclopaedia of Hindu Deities, Demi Gods, Godlings, Demons and Heroes: With Special Focus on Iconographic Attributes (Hardcover)

It would be hard to exaggerate the vastness of this iconographic guide to the Hindu pantheon. Over 1600 pages long and spread over three mighty volumes, the book provides iconographic information (color when painted, number of heads/arms/legs, posture, attributes, etc.) for over 2,000 Hindu divinities. Volume I contains an iconographic article for each deity; Volume II contains the reverse, a set of "deity identification tables" that allow the intrepid researcher to search for deities that correspond to a given iconography. Additional material includes tables of divine geneology, yantra identifications, and 250 sculptural illustrations.

This is a specialty volume, of interest mostly to scholars who are involved with Hindu iconography on a professional basis.
