Descriere

The role of the visual is essential to Hindu tradition and culture, but many attempts to understand India's divine images have been laden with misperceptions. Darsan, a Sanskrit word that means ``seeing,`` is an aid to our vision, a book of ideas to help us read, think, and look at Hindu images with appreciation and imagination.
