About the Book

Since time immemorial Bengal has been the cultural representative of India. And culture of Nadia had been at one time, the culture of Bengal itself. The terracotta finds adorning our museums, temples and private collections testify that this expressive art once thrived in Nadia. Unfortunately, however, a survey of existing literature on the subject reveals that these living witnesses have escaped the analytical eye of researchers, scholars and historians.

The present study serves to fill this void in a remarkably intelligent and diligent manner. Through its intensive on-the-spot investigations of the terracottas of Nadia, it attempts to portray not only the history of art objects-their antiquity, materials used and thematic range-but also the history of society, culture and religion as pronounced by these mute spokesmen. The author has done well to make a survey of the existing literature on the subject which substantiates the fact that the terracottas of Nadia have been hitherto dealt with rather cursorily. However, through its investigative analysis of the art objects, the present work reconstructs the past. As a result, these ignored objects of art can now be read like an open book of history.

About the Author

Dr. Sankar Prosad Ghosh (1938) MA. PH.D is an erudite scholar, a dedicated researcher and a renowned academician. His previous book, Hindu Religious Art and Architecture was the result of his investigative study of Nadia temples and was very well received. In keeping with the same, he is not altogether new to the field of his present study.
