    Excellent overview! I especially enjoyed the sections on religious symbolism. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Indian studies.

    I loved learning about the historical context of body imagery. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.

  5. Deepti –

    While informative, it felt like a textbook. Needed more real-world examples to keep me engaged. Not as engaging as I’d hoped.

  6. Nikita Sawhney –

    Well-researched, but not always easy to digest. Some prior knowledge of Indian culture would be helpful. Quite confusing.

  7. Abhishek Mohanty –

    The book is well-written and the concepts were delivered nicely. I would suggest this for anybody interested in the topic

    A good book that offers much insight on Indian art and culture. A good choice for anybody. A tad boring at times.

    Interesting concepts but poorly executed, could’ve been better. The writing style was tough to follow at times. Expected more depth.

    This book opened my eyes to the rich diversity of body representation in India. A must-read for art history enthusiasts. The pictures are great.

  12. Nikita Jain –

    A decent overview, but it lacked a certain spark. I was hoping for more personal anecdotes and engaging storytelling.

  13. Nandini –

    A fascinating exploration of the body in Indian art and culture. Some chapters were a bit dense, but overall, a worthwhile read.

  14. K R Ajaykumar –

    A comprehensive study. The authors cover so much ground, but at times it felt a bit overwhelming. Too much information.

  15. Chakshu –

    A thought-provoking exploration! Michaels and Wulf present complex ideas in an accessible way. I learned so much.

  16. Debojyoti Sarkar –

    A bit academic for my taste, but the imagery discussed was truly captivating. Gave me a new perspective. It did feel repetitive.

  17. Anupam Saggar –

    The book provides an insightful look. However, it becomes repetitive and could have benefited from stricter editing.

  18. Hemant Kumar –
