Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. According to a 1754 inscription, the ruling Rajah Umed Singh of Chamba commissioned this extraordinarily ornate wooden temple, and two artists, Gurdev and Jhanda, carried out the work. Despite the difficulty of gaining access to the shrine, 2,300m above sea level, the quality of these highly regarded reliefs is unique - nothing comparable in Chamba managed to withstand the fires and wars at the end of the 18th century. This book thoroughly publicises this important Hindu dtructure for the first time. << 248 illustrations The Temple of Devi-Kothi Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Around 1800, an anonymous engraver in Sharanakula, a small temple place on the southern coast of Orissa, illustrated a palm-leaf anthology of love poems. The one hundred Sanskrit quatrains, which are said to be the work of the 7th-century poet Amaru, describe the behaviour of enamoured couples, their longing for each other, the lovers' anxieties, their ecstatic joy as well as their doubts and sorrows.In India, these quatrains have at all times been cherished for their elegant language. Then, two hundred years ago, a great master-engraver visualised these verses in many small but meticulously executed and richly detailed illustrations. The erotic scenes in particular are of remarkable quality. While the verses are, without doubt, some of the greatest in the annals of Sanskrit literature, it is the illustrations of the work that have absorbed the authors here. The first part of the book is given to the poet and the poems, but then attention is turned to the intentions and acheivements of the painter. The authors attempt to follow his perception of the verses to comprehend how this Master visualised and rendered the refined Sanskrit verses into line drawings with such creative bearing and wit. 300 illustrations Around 1800, an anonymous engraver in Sharanakula, a temple place on the southern coast of Orissa, illustrated a palm-leaf anthology of love poems. Then, 200 years ago, a master-engraver visualised these verses in many small illustrations. This book explores the verses as well as the illustrations related to the painter's perception of the verses.
