    A fascinating look at Indian art, though some essays were a bit too academic for my taste. Overall, a worthwhile read!

    A must-read for anyone interested in Indian art history! The book provides deep insights into the cultural context. The book could include more visuals.

    While informative, I found the book a bit dry. It’s definitely geared towards scholars. I was expecting a lighter read.

    Desai’s analysis is insightful. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on Ramayana sculptures. Some chapters felt repetitive.

    Excellent collection of essays. The analysis of erotic temple art was particularly thought-provoking. A bit repetitive in places.

    The writing style is dense and not always accessible. However, the information is valuable and well-researched.

  9. Nitesh Kumar –

    I learned so much about Indian iconography! Desai’s expertise shines through. It got bogged down in details sometimes.

    Desai presents a compelling argument for the importance of understanding Indian art within its historical context. Recommend this book with five stars.
