This book with its superb plates fully bear out Dr. Ananda Coomaraswamys words that the terracotta are important not only as the documents of religious culture but also as documents of the history of art. And this is most true in India where the ancient Indian potter artist had to cater to one and all the rich and the poor men and women the city sophisticate and the simple folk of the rural countryside all with different tastes varying needs and the practical demands of the standards of life and modes of living of the different strata of society. It is not therefore surprising that in the course of the last five thousand years people from every walk of life needed articles of clay article of daily utility dolls and idols votive offerings images of their Gods and Goddesses. In this concise but factual and lucidly informative book the author deals with the entire range of terracotta of all periods of Indian history that have turned up at ancient sites in different parts of the country from the inarticulate often crude mother Goddesses to the large beautifully made products of the Golden Age of Indian Art. The author tells the fascinating story of the development of the clay art of the potter and the technical and other innovations introduced by him now and then till it reached its Zenith in the fifth century A.D. under the imperial Guptas. But this is no dry as dust dull scholarly exposition. The author has a flair for words and makes his story come alive without sacrificing detail or accuracy. This is not primarily a book for the scholar although even he will read it with pleasure and perhaps even learn many facts not known to him before especially the one not too familiar with the terracotta art of the country this is a book for all those interested in Indias art and culture Indian and non Indian alike.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. The Harappans and Aryans. 2. The Kali Yuga Crisis. Appendix: Harappan/Aryan Interface. 3. The Harappan Language. 4. The Harappan Heritage. 5. History Before History: Manu to Udayana(ca. 2200 500 BCE). 6. Epilogue. Bibliography. Index. There is a heated debate from the day the Indus or the Harappan civilization was discovered: whether it was Aryan or Dravidian. The flow of the new data is continuous and the controversy is becoming acrimonious. It appears that a Tsumani-like calamity forced Harappans to migrate to other regions in the country for sustenance and even beyond it. The problem that has now cropped up is whether the Harappans and Aryans were two different people or one and the same for the simple reason that the latter reach the very same regions where the Harappan presence is also marked, the former evidenced by Harappan artifacts and the latter by an IA language because Max Muller has certified that whosoever speaks an IA language is an Aryan. This was not a hide-and-seek game, but points to their being one and the same people. What is more, these migrations are corroborated by allusions in the later Vedic literature. The study analyses all the new evidence and shows how it has contributed to the make up of Indian civilization and discusses how it can prove useful to bridge the hiatus between the protohistoric and the historical periods.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Preface. 1. Palaeolithic mesolithic and neolithic phases. 2. Early mature and later bronze age. Bibliography. Index. The prehistoric phase forms the longest period in human history covering a few millennia whereas the knowledge of writing which could be used for the reconstruction of history was acquired by man only five thousand years ago. The development of human culture can be properly understood only by studying the prehistoric past. The antiquity of man now goes back to 3.6 million years, and since then man has been progressing in the face of all odds. Man the hunted became man the hunter, later acquired the technique of food production which further led to sedentary existence, fashioned artefacts to cope with environment, learnt the use of metals and established trading contacts, finally leading to urbanization.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Contents Preface. 1. Historical setting. 2. Architecture. 3. Sculpture. 4. Painting. 5. Terracottas. 6. Bronzes. 7. Ivories shell and jewellery. Select bibliography. Index. The Satavahanas (Ca. second cent. BC second cent. AD) were one of the empire builders in ancient India. Their rule extended almost over the entire region south of the Vindhyas and their reign is marked by considerable peace and prosperity which was due to the flourishing trade with the Roman empire. The artistic creations of the Satavahana era are among the grandest in India comparable in their monumental quality to such imposing buildings as the Khajuraho and Chola temples. They are unsurpassed in early India and many of them are still standing in their pristine glory. Yet he Satavahana art is not treated as an independent school. The present study is aimed at delineating the characteristic features more particularly of its regional varieties such as Western India Central India and the Southern Deccan. The Satavahana art includes such imposing edifices as the early Buddhist rock cut caves of Western India the gateways at Sanchi and the sculpture of the Mahastupa at Amaravati the magnificent paintings in the Hinayana group at Ajanta besides beautiful terracottas bronzes and ivories. They constitute a link between the Maurya Sunga art of the earlier period and the later that of the golden age of the Guptas. 112 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Origin: From Gaja to Gana. 2. Development: From Gana to Ganesa. 3. Ganesa in Tantrism, Buddhism and Jainism. 4. Ganesa in South Asia. 5. Ganesa in Southeast Asia. 6. Ganesa in Central Asia and Far East. 7. The God of Asia. Bibliography. Index. Ganesa is probably the most popular god in India among the Hindus and was accepted by the Buddhist and Jaina as also by the Tantrics. His very therianthropic form evokes curiosity and many attempts have been made to explain it on the basis of literary testimony which, however, is a later fabrication. Relevant archaeological testimony, however, was largely ignored. But it should be emphasized that only archaeology offers reliable data which has been employed here for the first time. It very convincingly explains the rise of the elephant-headed divinity from a sacred animal and an animal totem to the exalted position of a cult deity in Hindu pantheon. This long journey of the god from gaja to gana to Ganesa to Maha-Ganesa and a cult deity, as great as Siva and Vishnu, is truly amazing. His popularity in a large measure is due to his being a vighna-karta (obstacle-creator) changing into a vighna-harta (obstacle-remover), when properly propitiated. Wherever Indians went and settled, they took Ganesa with them for removing obstacles, and therefore Ganesa is the only divinity who can truly be called the God of Asia. …
