About the Book
This work is an extensively researched and original exploration of the Pushti Marg faith and the profound philosophy of its founder, Shri Vallabhacharya. The book delves into how his spiritual beliefs were expressed in Indian art, particularly through paintings, pichvais, and shrine textiles, which are central to the religious practices of the Vallabha Sampradaya.
Key topics explored include:
-
Vallabhacharya’s philosophy of Shrinathji (a form of Krishna).
-
The creation of sacred objects and their role in rituals.
-
The syncretic nature of Indian art, including how Muslim artisans contributed to creating these divine artefacts.
Additionally, the book showcases rare paintings and textiles, including significant works like the Palam Dispersed Bhagavad Puran, Golden pichvais, and Kalamkari textiles. Through a detailed analysis, it also highlights the influence of Pushti Marg on Indian art and culture. The author, coming from a family devoted to this tradition, offers an insider’s view of the faith and its profound impact on Indian art.
