Title in ENGLISH : This catalogue is the result of a collaborative project between Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculptures, Viet Nam and National Museum Institute of History of Art, Conservation and Museology, New Delhi. Fifty-three sculptures from the collection of the Da Nang Museum have been studied in detail along with Indian sculptures to trace the historic relations between India and Viet Nam in the domain of art for a better understanding of the shared traditions of the two countries. This catalogue also highlights the deep understanding of the silpasastras that the Cham sculptors possessed as these sculptures often follow iconographic injunctions given in ancient texts. The Cham sculptors also brought forward the indigenous interpretation of Indian canons and developed their own unique iconography. Influence and inspirations that voyaged between India and Viet Nam travelled through other Southeast Asian countries like Cambodia, Indonesia etc., binding together the entire region of South and Southeast Asia in a close-knit fabric.
