Darsan, Seeing the Divine Image in India - Softcover
The entire guide concerns darsan, a Sandkrit word that means seeing, especially seeing the divine in an image, in a person or in a set of ideas. This guide concentrates on the first two of these meanings: the divine in sculpture, temples, symbols, times, and places, and the divine in great spiritual figures throughout the history of the Hindu religious tradition. This edition adds many more striking photographs to the earlier editions.

Book Description:
Although the role of the visual is essential to Indian tradition and culture, most attempts to understand its images are 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 tolerance and imagination.
From the Back Cover:
The role of the visual image 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.
