Pande, Alka

Body Sutra Alka Pande - 1st ed. - New delhi Rupa 2019 - vii, 260 p. : col. ill.

This book is inarguably the definitive and a truly authoritative work on the literary and artistic representation of the body, and combines rare Indian literature with the most stunning visual documentation of the body ever. Over time, the artistic representation of the body developed its own iconography. Drawing from the canonical Shilpa Shastras, where the idealized body becomes more corporeal, it goes on to attain a classical perfection in the Gupta Age, when the sensuous and the sacred came together.
