Puja and Piety celebrates the complexity of South Asian
representation and iconography by examining the relationship
between aesthetic expression and the devotional practice, or puja,
in the three native religions of the Indian subcontinent. This
stunning and authoritative catalogue presents some 150 objects
created over the past two millennia for temples, home worship,
festivals, and roadside shrines. From monumental painted temple
hangings and painted meditation diagrams to portable pictures for
pilgrims, from stone sculptures to processional bronzes and wooden
chariots, from ancient terracottas to various devotional objects
for domestic shrines, this volume provides much-needed context and
insight into classical and popular art of India. Featuring an
introduction by the eminent art historian and curator Pratapaditya
Pal; accessible essays on each religious tradition by Stephen P.
Huyler, John E. Cort, and Christian Luczanits; and useful guides to
iconography and terms by Debashish Banerji, this richly illustrated
catalogue will provide a lasting resource for readers interested in
South Asian art and spirituality. Published in association with the
Santa Barbara Museum of Art Exhibition organized by Susan S. Tai,
Elizabeth Atkins Curator of Asian Art Exhibition dates: Santa
Barbara Museum of Art, April 17-July 31, 2016.
