Since ancient times, Hindus have expressed their love and
devotion to their deities through beautiful ornamentation dressing
and decorating the deities with elaborate clothing, jewelry, and
flowers. In this pioneering study of temples in Vrindaban and
Jaipur, India, Cynthia Packert takes readers across temple
thresholds and into the god Krishna s sacred domain. She describes
what devotees see when they behold gorgeously attired
representations of the god and why these images look the way they
do. She discusses new media as well as global forms of devotion
popular in India and abroad. The Art of Loving Krishna opens a
universe of meaning in which art, religious action, and devotion
are dynamically intertwined."
