Treasures of Indian Art Heritage

 
Prakash Parimal (Author)
Synopsis Treasures of Indian Art Heritage (A Passage from Sindhu-Saraswati to the Ganges) is a work based on the authority of the Vedic scriptures, the pre-historic documental sources and a selected later Vedic iconography attesting Vedic and Pauranic motifs. During the last three decades, a fairly good number of books have been published highlighting the latest explorations and researches in the field of Pre-historic and Vedic India, and this book is certainly a valuable addition to that count. Its value is not so much in the field of archaeological research as it is in the field of art and cultural history of ancient India. This book also provides new understanding of the Vedic scriptures through later Vedic iconography. The author contradicts the long-held hypothetical theories of Aryan invasion, Indo-Aryan language (Indo-European origin of language); Arya-Dravid conflict and the dates of river valley civilization together with the development of Vedic art and culture in our country and aboard. Chapters on Yantra-tantra and Jyotish make this book interesting for common readers and finally the inclusion of a useful material on the early coins of Bhabua and Ujjaini hoards and later Maurya and Gupta period coins and aesthetics make this book complete and self-sufficient.
