| 520 | |a Viśvakarmā is a collection of select writings by the famous art historian Coomaraswamy on Indian sculptural art. This volume contains plates depicting Buddhist, Jaina, and Brahmanical forms of sculptural art. The book begins with a depiction of forms of Buddha and bodhisattvas (Avalokiteshvara, Tara [Ushnisha], Manjushri, Prajnaparamita, etc.), Shiva (Bhairava, Gangadhara, Nataraja, etc.), Devi (Durga, etc.), Vishnu (Balakrishna, Narasimha, etc.), and depiction of Jaina Tirthankaras, Trimurti, and Brahma. Also, we find the depiction of nagas, yakshas, apsaras, and masculine and feminine figures, including the description of the famous historical personalities like Krishnadeva Raya, Manikkavacagar, etc. The conclusive part of this book contains the animal figures including the animal incarnations of Buddha and Brahmanical deities. These art collection pictures were obtained from various Indian and international museums like the Archaeological Survey of India, Victoria and Albert Museum, etc., and from private collections of individuals. The book is highly recommended to students, instructors, museologists, and research scholars interested in Indian arts. | ||
