Reviews

"A useful and easy-to-read introduction to a complex subject aimed largely at educational courses. Students and general readers will be grateful to the author for guiding them through the bewildering apparatus of Hindu religious symbols, ritual practices, sacred texts and mythological icons." - Times Higher Education Supplement "...a very strong case for the need to study visual expressions of Hindu beliefs ...Elgood's work is a must for academic library collections as well as for historians of religion interested in the unique contributions visual expression can add to an understanding of Hinduism." --Religion and the Arts
