Divine Art by Dr. Shashibala

Divine Art by Dr. Shashibala explores how religious ideas have taken form in writing, painting, sculpture, architecture and performance. Its illustrated discussion ranges from sacred manuscripts and decorated places of worship to dance, music and ritual objects.

Published by Roli Books, the volume considers the symbolism and purposes of art made for spiritual life. It is a study of sacred artistic expression across traditions, rather than a step-by-step art course or a manual for one religion.
