Overview

This is a detailed exposition of the visual retellings from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana on specific Indian Hoysala temples. The first part of the book deals with the Amrtesvara temple, particularly its narrative panels depicting the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavata Purana. The text is a resume of episodes paired with photographs which illustrate and review the visual retellings and explore Indian techniques of visual narrative.
