Contemporary Indian studies

"In the flux created by the Mughal conquest in the seventeenth century, Hindu landholders in eastern India began to build a spectacularly beautiful new style of brick temple, sheathed with terra cotta narrative plaques and in a form unlike that of temples built for a thousand years before. In Temple to Love, Pika Ghosh draws on extensive archaeological and ethnographic research as well as textual evidence to explore this innovation in the context of its times."
"This original and richly illustrated study addresses important cultural issues central to understanding the roles of art and religion in the negotiation of power and the self-definition of communities. Including 82 high-quality black-and-white images of these rarely photographed structures, it will appeal to scholars, students, and all readers interested in Indian art and history."--Jacket.
