description: The beautiful cultural tradition of murals in India is explained and presented in all its artistic glory in the striking photographs in this book and in the stories of the gods that graced these walls. Each muralist presented depicted the myths and legends of different Hindu deities, such as Visnu and his consort Laksmi, or Siva in different forms with his consort Parvati. The book also shows the process behind the mural making—the preparation of the plastered walls and of the colors, the rules of composition, proportion, poses, and perspective, and the good and bad qualities of a painting.
