About the Book

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This monograph is a magnificent document of India's ritual painting, based
on systematic study of the osakothi murals of Orissa. It explores the rare,
rich and meaningful and fast disappearing ritual art of mural painting. The
antiquity of this art can be traced to the prehistoric rock-cave paintings
of Mirzapur, Singhapuri, Bhimbetka, Jhiri, and elsewhere in India. A close
parallel is seen in the contemporary ritual relating to Rathwa mural
paintings.

Prefaced by Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan, a foremost authority on Indian art and
culture, this work will fascinate not only the students of art, religion
and Indian civilization but also everyone with an inquiring mind.
