The Art of Indian Asia is a unique work of scholarship and photography in two volumes (each sold separately). This is the first volume, which contains the text; the second volume contains the photographic illustrations. Together, the two volumes present a comprehensive view of Indian art, spanning from 3,000 BC to the twentieth century and an area from Afghanistan to Bali. The volume of text combined with the volume of photographs form an 鈥渋maginary temple鈥 that conveys the spiritual messages of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism.

It is recommended that readers buy both volumes of The Art of Indian Asia because together they form an integrated work鈥擵olume 1 containing only the text and Volume 2 containing only the photographs.
