ISBN10: 0304707392, ISBN13: 9780304707393, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, London] Softcover Paperback. The roots between the Hindu religion and the wider culture are deep and uniquely complex. No study of either ancient or contemporary Indian culture can be undertaken without a clear understanding of Hindu visual arts and their sources in religious belief and practice. Defining what is meant by religion - no such term exists in Sanskrit - and what is understood by Hindu ideals of beauty, Heather Elgood provides the best synthesis and critical study of recent scholarship on the topic. In addition, this book offers critical background information for anyone interested in the social and anthropological roots of artistic creativity, as well as the rites, practices and beliefs of the hundreds of millions of Hindus in the world today. The visual arts associated with the Hindu religion are recognized as being the most complex and rich of any living religion. In this book, Heather Elgood provides a synthesis and critical study of recent scholarship on the subject. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
