INDIAN TEMPLE SCULPTURE
de JOHN GUY
"This innovative book is themed around Indian temple arts as instruments of worship - devotional sculptures which embody, through the combined authority of the aesthetic and the symbolic, powerful religious experiences. It examines Indian religious sculpture in the temple context - its cosmological meaning, its function within the architectural schema and its dynamic interactive role in worship. Accessible and multidisciplinary in its approach, Indian Temple Sculpture reveals the vivid traditions still in practice today, and opens up a world of understanding about Indian devotional art."--BOOK JACKET.
