Kalatattvakosa: A Lexicon of Fundamental Concepts of the Indian Arts (Volume V)

R C Sharma (Editor)

Synopsis Kalatattvakosa series has endeavoured to evolve an important modern device to grasp the essential thought and knowledge system of the Indian tradition. Through an in-depth investigation into the primary sources of various disciplines, the series aims at facilitating the reader to comprehend the interlocking of different disciplines. The present volume is the manifestation of the vicaragni (fire of thoughts), kindled by the earlier seers and continued by later thinkers, that highlights a number of visual art forms. The study reveals a vast and interesting scope for further studies in the subject. The volume deals with ten articles: rekha, akara-akrti, rupa-pratirupa, sakalanishkala, arca, murti, pratima-pratikrti, vigraha, bandha-prabandha and prasada.
