The Silpa Prakasais an important addition to the existing literature on Indian Silpa Texts. the text goes into a great detail of the architecture, the iconography and the symbolism of all the parts of the temple. Its unique contribution lies in the description of Yantras or symbolic diagrams underlying the architecture as well as sculpture. This edition will be extremely valuable for understanding not only temple construction but the entire symbolism underlying the unique temples of Orissa.

This handbook is a comprehensive study of the archaeology, social history and the cultural landscape of the Hindu temple. Perhaps the most recognizable of the material forms of Hinduism, temples are lived, dynamic spaces. They are significant sites for the creation of cultural heritage, both in the past and in the present. Drawing on historiographical surveys and in-depth case studies, the volume centres the material form of the Hindu temple as an entry point to study its many adaptations and transformations from the early centuries CE to the 20th century. It highlights the vibrancy and dynamism of the shrine in different locales and studies the active participation of the community for its establishment, maintenance and survival. The illustrated handbook takes a unique approach by focusing on the social base of the temple rather than its aesthetics or chronological linear development. It fills a significant gap in the study of Hinduism and will be an indispensable resource for scholars of archaeology, Hinduism, Indian history, religious studies, museum studies, South Asian history and Southeast Asian history. Chapters 1, 4 and 5 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www.routledge.com.

How do we see art works? How do we see artefacts? How do we see our surroundings? How do we see the world? This book opens up a worldwide dialogue between ten experts, from Japan to Brazil, from South Africa to Germany. It provides a fascinating insight into the different cultures of seeing and learning to see. It also offers a deeper understanding of the differences that divide us and the similarities that connect us. This book marks an important step towards transcultural art education.

Filling a distinct gap in Indian scholarship, this original account presents a critical re-examination of the key Indian concepts of painting as described in the Sanskrit treatises. Drawing on the experiences of significant painters, Nardi suggests a new way of reading and understanding these concepts.
