Indra Sharma, one the most renowned traditional religious painters in modern India and whose magic strokes have inspired generations, illustrates this gallery of gods and goddesses. This calendar of divinity is based on the book In a World of Gods and Goddesses, which is the first collection of Sharmas work to appear outside the Indian subcontinent. The paintings reproduced here can be found in tens of thousands of temples, public promenades, and private homes throughout India.
