Yoga in Indian Temple Sculptures: a New Perspective by Rekha Rao PDF Summary

Book Description: Some sculptures adorning the outer walls of the temples of medieval period of India depict bold themes of love, and is presented along with figures of deities or puranic episodes. This set of love sculptures has evoked curiosity in many researchers of art and philosophy as to why pairing or Mithuna sculptures were part of temple architecture. This well illustrated research work explores the intentions of such sculptural representations and derives how the highly abstract, philosophical and universal topic of taming the mind through Raja yoga and forms of Tantra yoga has been translated into the very attractive figurative form and presented in temples to give information about the various forms of yogic principles that guide towards the attainment of bliss.
