Excellent treatment of Hindu Art,
By
This review is from: Hindu Art (Paperback)
As the title makes clear, this book is dedicated exclusively to Hindu art - a tradition you don't hear too much about but that is extremely rewarding. It contains wonderful color reproductions and insightful text which centers more around major deities and their art rather than a linear history (although there is some of this). The book is especially good at contextualizing the subject - explaining the art's meanings and cultural significance.

excellent,
This review is from: Hindu Art (Paperback)
This really is an excellent book -- clear, well-written, with an exceptionally good selection of photographs -- especially of rural shrines and out of the way places. I would rate it among the top two or three books on Hindu/India art I have ever read. It's the sort of book you could happily carry around India.
