Item description from seller

Contents: Preface. 1. Udayagiri 2 : in praise of a very important excavation of a buddhist site in Orissa/Adalbert J. Gail. 2. Erotic forms of Ganesa in hindu and buddhist iconography (+ Plates I-III)/Gudrun Buhnemann. 3. Tantric deities in an illustrated dharani manuscript from Nepal (+ Plates IV-XVII)/Gudrun Buhnemann. 4. Iconography of Grahamatrka (+ Plates XVIII-XXIV)/Gerd J.R. Mevissen. 5. A brief introduction to saudhikagama, an unpublished sanskrit text on temple architecture, iconography and town planning from Orissa/Sadananda Das. 6. Towards a computer encoding for Brahmi/Stefan Baums. 7. The ceremony of Tulapurusa : the puranic concept and the epigraphical evidence/Annette Schmiedchen. 8. The memorial stone (Paliya) inscriptions : the cultural heritage of Gujarat, Saurashtra and Kutch/Bharati Shelat. The articles collected in this volume, which were originally presented in the panels on art and Epigraphy at the 12th World Sanskrit Conference in Helsinki, Finland, illustrate the depth, diversity and sophistication of recent studies in these subjects by scholars from several countries. The subjects treated include new archaeological and epigraphic discoveries, the relation between textual and iconographic traditions in both Hindu and Buddhist contexts, the historical and Cultural analysis of inscriptions, and the application of Computer technology to the study of Indian paleography. The essays contained in this Book cover a broad range of topics in terms of chronology, geography and sectarian tradition.
