One of the first things that strike the Western viewer of Indian art is the multiplicity of heads, arms and eyes. This convention grows out of imagery conceived by Vedic sages to explain creation. This book for the first time investigates into the meaning of this convention. The author concentrates on its origins in Hindu art and on preceding textual references to the phenomenon of multiplicity.The first part establishes a general definition for the convention. Examination of all Brahmanical literature up to, and sometimes beyond, the 1st - 3rd century A.D., adds more information to this basic definition.The second part applies this literary information mainly to icons of the Yaksa, iva, V sudeva-Kr sn a and the Goddess, and indicates how Brahmanical cultural norms, exemplified in Mathur , can transmit textual symbols.Both Part I and Part II provide iconic modules and a methodology to generate interpretations for icons with this remarkable feature through the Gupta age.

South Asian religious art became codified during the Ku a Period (ca. beginning of the 2nd to the mid 3rd century). Yet, to date, neither the chronology nor nature of Ku a Art, marked by great diversity, is well understood. The Ku a Empire was huge, stretching from Uzbekistan through northern India, and its multicultural artistic expressions became the fountainhead for much of South Asian Art. The premise of this book is that Ku a Art achieves greater clarity through analyses of the arts and cultures of the Pre- Ku a World, those lands becoming the Empire. Fourteen papers in this book by leading experts on regional topography and connective pathways; interregional, multicultural comparisons; art historical, archaeological, epigraphic, numismatic and textual studies represent the first coordinated effort having this focus.

A Gigantic Icon With Unusual Iconographic Features, Comprising Human Heads And Various Animal Forms As Body Components Was Discovered More Than A Decade Ago From Tala (District Bilaspur). This Image Is A Masterpiece Example Of Uniqueness; Hitherto Unknown In The Art Traditions Of India. The Investigation Of An Image By A Group Of Scholars Breaking The Barrier Of Boundaries Of Nations Was An Unusual Idea To Solve The Enigma Of The Tala Icon. The Present Book Is A Result Of A Postal Seminar Which The Editor Organised. Apart From Tala Loon, This Book Also Throws Light On The History And Art Tradition Of Daksina Kosala, Presently Known As Chattisgarh. The Range Of Ideas And Images In The Text Is Vast And From This Great Ocean, Formed Over Several Thousand Years, Art Historians Can Pick-Up Items That Would Seemingly Explain The Various Details Of The Tala Image; But If This Is Just A Random Matching Of Text And Image, We Will Not Be Able To Satisfactorily Elucidate The Whole.
