Light of Devotion: Oil Lamps of Kerala, an in-depth study of the
medieval oil lamps of Kerala and beyond, contributes a new chapter
to the history of Indian art. These art objects are primary sources
for a broader discussion of the ritual use of Hindu oil lamps,
their related and unique cultural history, their motifs, style and
subject matter. From an understudied region, they include miniature
masterpieces in bronze of figural and mythic representations. Many
of the pieces presented are previously unpublished. Hindu
traditions and the underlying philosophy of these votive offerings
to temple deities represented by the flaming oil lamps will
interest those who study history of religions, art history and
South Asian studies. The author has included oil lamps found not
only in Kerala but also examples discovered in an international
array of museums and collections. These lamps and their
inscriptions offer a key to unlock the problem of the dating of
Keralan bronze sculpture.
