Perspectives in Indian Art and Archaeology; 8-9

Title in ENGLISH : Vol.1: Texts. Vol.2: Plates. ;The work explores the physical and emotional interaction between Siva and Parvati as represented in sculptural works in the Indian subcontinent. In two volumes, it examines a host of images supported by classifications of Siva-Parvati figures in texts like the Saiva Agamas and iconographic studies of the past decades. It surveys an astounding sculptural diversity of Siva-Parvati icons particularly forms of seated or standing `Umasahita-murti, standing `Alingana murti and tantric forms of the deities. The images are related not only to religious beliefs but also iconographical research-- for instance, linking depiction of figures in certain postures and areas to their places of origin.;
