Hargun Kaur –
This book is a must-have for serious scholars of Hindu art! Extremely detailed and well-researched, but not for casual readers.
Kanav Sodhi –
It is a good book. It could be improved by explaining more of the cultural contexts in which the images appeared.
Saumen Sain –
Donaldson’s ‘Iconography’ is a valuable resource. It covers the topic well and provides ample visual examples. Some sections can be tedious.
Vaishnavi –
Good information, but the writing style is dense and difficult to get through. I wish it was more accessible. The photos are a plus.
Kumar Ritik –
A bit too academic for my taste, but still informative. I learned a lot about the iconography, though I did struggle to comprehend some concepts.
Rajat Jain –
The book contains comprehensive charts and photos. Donaldson has clearly put a lot of effort in this book.
Mubashra Tahreem Parvez –
A decent overview of Vaishnava iconography in Orissa. Donaldson’s work is thorough, but sometimes feels a bit dry. The images are helpful, though.
Mohit Bansal –
Excellent book! I liked how the book described the images in great details with supporting examples.
Aman –
I found this book helpful for my research, but I think it would be helpful to add a glossary for those unfamiliar.
