About the Book
This volume brings together, for the first time, 16 selected essays from the 90 that Dr. Devangana Desai has written over the course of 35 years, many of which were previously not easily accessible. Carefully edited and enriched with updated material, these essays offer a wide-ranging exploration of Indian art.
The collection spans themes both sensuous and sublime—from the analysis of narrative Ramayana sculptures and the role of Tantrism in erotic temple imagery, to the study of ancient terracottas in socio-cultural contexts. Each essay demonstrates Dr. Desai’s depth of scholarship and her ability to interlink artistic, cultural, and philosophical traditions in meaningful ways.
This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts of Indian temple art, iconography, cultural history, and aesthetics, offering fresh insights into the intersections of religion, symbolism, and society.
