Hindu Images in the Global Age explores changes in perception of
Hindu icons in the United States where second and third generation
Hindu Americans have increasingly adopted American attitudes toward
sacred objects. Viewing them as symbolic, rather than as actual
presence of the deity, this change marks an important transition in
Hindu attitudes. The text describes the traditional path in India
where Hindu images have been cast for millennia through the lost
wax process and brought to life by priests. It also explores the
origins of western attitudes toward sacred objects as symbolic.
Both perceptions now co-exist in a western globalized world in the
United States in a complex layering of attitudes.
