Hindu Gods and Goddesses: 300 Illustrations from "The Hindu Pantheon"

<div><p>Reflecting the spirit of East Indian myths, legends, and fables, these illustrations were compiled by one of the nineteenth century's foremost Orientalists. Edward Moor published <em>The Hindu Pantheon</em> in 1810, and this new volume draws upon his exposition of India's religious iconography to offer a spectacular array of images of Hindu deities.<br>Dramatic engravings and line drawings include scenes from the <em>Ramayana</em> and <em>Mahabharata</em> as well as temple images of Krishna, Vishnu, Siva, and other major gods and goddesses. Many are derived from bronze figurines; others are reproduced from manuscript illustrations. All appear with captions for ease of identification.</p></div>
