'A Hermit In The Himalayas' is a fascinating blend of travel narrative and profound spiritual experience.

The mystery and glandeur of the Himalayas made upon the Indian mind find its reflection in Indian religious art.

The present volume thus offers a new approach to the study of Indian art, by way of the Himalayas certainly the most direct path for arriving at the central idea of the Indian artist and craftsman. The book presents concisely the leading ideas of the Indian temple builder, sculptor and painter, and connects the artistic traditions of India with Indian daily life and work (less)

It is hoped that the present book will serve a cause in the right development of this region. seva singh sagwal.
