Towards a New Art History (Studies in Indian Art)
Mainstream art historical writing on Indian art has remained focused on identifying and defining stylistic schools, understanding evolutionary patterns and regional styles as well as understanding iconographic and narrative conventions and structures.

Moving away from an art history, structured by an art object-centred approach, this book gestures at a framework-oriented approach that calls attention to the political, social, economic structures that undergird art. It is an attempt to reformulate the discipline in a manner that can explain the field of the visual in a way... Read More

Mysore Royal Dasara
India is perhaps the only country where goddesses are still widely worshipped. The origin and nature of many of these present day Goddesses and their cults go back to primordial times. But the centre of all mother goddess worship is the desire to propitiate and praise the powers of nature for promoting growth and fertility. The nine day autumnal festival of Navaratri is an expanded and systematized form of such a fertility and thanksgiving festival. During the medieval period, kings and rulers, as representatives of the people, took over the worship of the Mother goddess and added a spectacular... Read More
