Book Description
Indian art, increasingly popular in the west, cannot be fully appreciated without some knowledge of the religious and philosophical background. This book, first published in 1985, covers all aspects of Hindu iconography, and explains that its roots lie far back in the style of prehistoric art. The dictionary demonstrates the rich profusion of cults, divinities, symbols, sects and philosophical views encompassed by the Hindu religious tradition.

Book Description
Visvarupa is a term used in the Bhagavadgita to describe Arjuna's vision of Krsna manifested as God. This book traces, through the study of selected north Indian sculptures and bronzes, the various artistic attempts to achieve a plastic interpretation of that vision. Maxwell draws on Sanskrit texts to recount the stylistic and iconographical history of this cosmic deity from its origins to its decline, and explores relevant Saiva, Brahma, and Buddhist imagery.
