If you'd like, I can make and send you a high-res scan so you can generate a good sized print from it. Contact me off board if you're interested.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 What a great image! I always wanted an image of the Tri-Shakti, with Kali instead of Parvati. And of course, I'd prefer my deities with colored complexions: Kali as blue, Lakshmi as red, and Sarasvati as white. I recall Devi Bhakta wrote about when Hindu devotional posters started portraying most of the deities with European complexions. There was an English-language book published on the topic in India -- what was the title and author, and is there some way we Westerners can purchase the book? -- Len/ Kalipadma On Thu, 26 Feb 2004 07:36:59 -0000 "somaphoenixx" <somaphoenixx writes: > Tri-Devi is so beautiful it fills me with devotion.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Hi Kalipadma: A somewhat late reply to your recent query: "There was an English- language book published on the topic [of popular devotional art] in India -- what was the title and author, and is there some way we Westerners can purchase the book?" Found it. It's called, "Popular Indian Art: Raja Ravi Varma and the Printed Gods of India," by Erwin Neumayer and Christine Schelberger. It's a pricey, large-format "coffee table" art published just last year (when I posted the newspaper book review you recalled in this group). Publisher: Oxford; ISBN: 019565872-8 Place to buy it in the West: http://www.indiaclub.com/shop/SearchResults.asp?ProdStock=12538 Amazon has it too, but for the same price. So if you decide to buy it, support small business and buy it from IndiaClub. I know the owners personally. A young husband-and-wife team: Nice, honest people and reliable. DB Quote
