Every stage of human life in India is marked by rituals accompanied by an astounding array of icons and symbols. In the Indian countryside, on streets, at wayside corners, front yards and even the branches of trees, ritual art is immediate, simple and vital.
Sacred space abounds.
In this exquisite book, Ajit offers both ancient art and prehistoric symbolism, shown and explained in the context of contemporary life. Quotes from the Upanishads, Bhagavadgita, Vatsyayana and Ajit's own text explain the rich imagery.
