Item description from seller

Contents Preface. Abbreviations. 1. Prologue. 2. Geographical and historical background. 3. Kamarupa and Kalinga. 4. Kamarupa and Mithila. 5. Affinities in art styles. 6. Inter regional migration of Brahmanas in the early medieval period. 7. Religious traditions and legends. 8. Some relevant medieval texts. 9. The age of Vidyapati and Sankaradeva. 10. Sakta and Vajrayana traditions. 11. Epilogue. Select bibliography. Index.

The present work is an attempt towards such Integrative Studies Kamarupa Kalinga and Mithila are three civilisation regions that developed close links with each other from the epic times till the medieval period. These links as reflected in their political history art and religious traditions had been so strong that the author calls them an alignment rather than merely close links. The author examines the relevant materials available in the old texts epigraphs archaeological remains and art objects collates them with the Puranic and Folk Legends and traditions current in the three regions and finally combining them with his personal field observations arrives at the significant conclusion that a politico cultural alignment of the three regions did indeed exist for a very long period of time.
