About the Book
This two-volume set offers a comprehensive study of the physical and emotional interaction between Siva and Parvati as represented in Indian sculptural works. Volume 1 focuses on texts, while Volume 2 presents plates illustrating the sculptures. The work examines a wide range of Siva-Parvati images, classifying them according to forms such as seated or standing Umasahita-murti, standing Alingana-murti, and tantric representations.
Drawing on sources like the Saiva Agamas and recent iconographic studies, the book links the depiction of figures in specific postures and regions to their cultural and religious contexts. It provides valuable insights into the diversity of sculptural forms, their symbolic meanings, and their significance in both devotional practice and art historical research. Essential for students, scholars, and enthusiasts of Indian fine arts and religious iconography, this set bridges textual analysis with visual documentation.
