Vastu Sastra: Hindu Canons of Iconography and Painting (Vol II) by D N Shukla
A scientific and systematic code of ancient Indian architecture in relation to its three main branches, the civil, the aristocratic and the religious has been a long-felt desideratum. Dr D.N. Shukla has therefore taken a pioneering lead to rehabilitate this Hindu contribution in the realm of architecture which for many a generation was misunderstood as confined mainly to the domain of either Palace architecture or Temple architecture. For this the monumental treatise, the Samarangana Sutradhara of king Bhoj Deva has been the authors single guide. An overview of Hindu iconography and painting. With an anthology of pratima-laksana and citra-laksana as well as an outline history of Indian painting, archeological and literary.
