Occasionally, some one arrives, begins to doubt and starts questioning the established views. S.

P. Gupta does exactly this in The Roots of Indian Art.

He has pushed aside the blinds, thrown open the Oeil-de-boeuf and allowed light to pour in so that the Formative Period (300-200 B.C.

Mauryan and Late Mauryan) of Indian art and architecture is better illuminated. The roots of the huge tree of Indian Art goes deep into time and spreads over a large part of the oriental world.

To trace the roots of this towering evergreen is no mean task. The colossal nature of the undertaking can be gauged from the fact that the geographical territories covered here include vast areas from three continents Europe, Asia and Africa with their diverse traditions in art, architecture, culture, language, race and people.

Yet the author has encompassed his theme within the confines of a single, fully documented and comprehensive volume. He has marshaled a large array of facts and figures and presented them in six chapters, such as The Pillars, The Ringstones, The Sculptures and Art Motifs, The Terracottas, The Rock-cut Caves, and The Architecture, each one neatly divided into short bibliography arranged in historical perspective, complete documentation and highly penetrating discussion.

He has provided aids to comprehension in the shape of hundreds of illustrations, such as maps, charts, sketches, photographs and coloured plates. Further, he has encapsulated the quintessence of his thesis in the chapter, titled The Polemics, and also Summing Up.

The Backdrop discusses some of the fundamental questions regarding the background of the Formative Period of Indian art. This book shall serve as a beacon to all research scholars, students and interested readers tormented by doubts and questions and enable them to appreciate the art and architecture of Early India more intimately than hitherto (less)

In this path-breaking new study, Malini Adiga reveals the political, social and cultural features that characterised the region. Its distinct identity is explored by examining the processes that created this political and cultural entity: the various social strata, the nature of the socio-political structure, the developments in the field of religion, and the manner in which the early medieval state patronised and utilised the various religious cults and sects to legitimise itself.

Based on an extensive analysis of the inscriptions from the region and period under study, this book also drwas on the region's literary sources to explain its characteristic social ethos. Exhaustively researched, carefully analysed and richly descriptive, this book is essential reading for all those interested in early medieval Karnataka (less)

They are `Visual Dharma'. The Chinese has been translated into English.

It was compiled by monk Pao-ch `eng during the Ming period. It was revised by Prince Yung-shan the grand the nephew of Emperor K`ang-hsi.

He had new woodcuts done in 1787-93. The landscape, buildings, persons, city layouts, gardens, etc.

are styled as was done in the 18th century. The simple lines, athirst for the beauty of the beyond, were to deepen the spiritual tone.

A Chinese proverb says: a picture is a voiceless poem, a poem is a vocal picture. The hieratic art of this volume is an evocation of the Chinese proverb in its powerful lines and in its tranquil sunyata of minimal art.

It has been translated into English for the first time. It is of interest to scholars of Buddhist art, thought, social life, and hagiography (less)

ii. The male deities include Siva-Pasupati, Yama and Siva in the form of Linga.

iii. There had been composite forms besides the sacred animals trees under worship, mythological deities, forces of nature like the sum, fire, water and Svastika.

Besides the above, some of the deities found in the Chalcolithic sites in the sub-continent have also been interpreted to represent Trimurti-Siva, Manasa, Kali, Saptamatrikas, Camunda as well as Sitatala. Scholars have also tried to trace the genesis of the cult of Ganesa, who is conceived as the remover of obstacles in the modern Hindu ideology, from the finds of the Harappan artefacts.

One thing that stands out clear and unmistakable at the Chalcolithic sites is that Harappan civilization hitherto revealed not an incipient civilization, but the one which was fairly ancient, stereotyped and well developed on Indian soil with colossal human endeavour behind it, the importance of which has been highlighted in this work.
