Victorious Ones
Jain Images of Perfection
Edited by Phyllis Granoff, with essays by John E Cort, Robert J Del Bontà,

Victorious Ones is a catalogue of sculptures and paintings of Jainism—one
of India’s three classical religions. With essays by leading scholars of Asian
religions and art, this book illuminates the core ideas of Jainism and its
founding figures, the Jinas, “Conquerors” or Tirthankaras, and the various
spaces they sanctify.
Jainism offers its practitioners liberation from all suffering, preaching a
doctrine of nonviolence. The liberated Jinas are accessible to us through
their teachings and images. They are depicted on painted maps of the Jain
universe and also worshiped at famous pilgrimage sites and in private
domestic shrines. The publication shows several sacred spaces, as well as
308 pages, 188 colour photographs and a map illustrated manuscripts of sacred text of Jains. Many of the objects

The Waterhouse Albums
Central Indian Provinces
Edited by John Falconer, with contributions from Rosemary Crill, Michael Gray
and Shaharyar M Khan

This volume presents for the first time the work and career of photographic
pioneer James Waterhouse (1842–1922). From his early career in Central
India in the 1860s, through to his technical achievements in Britain in the
1900s, this comprehensive account traces the career of an enigmatic
figure devoted to the medium, acknowledged by his peers as “the father
of photo-mechanical work”, yet who today remains unjustly neglected
within the world of photography.
Waterhouse was deputed to photograph rulers, tribes, communities and
archaeological subjects in the Central Provinces. Among the results, many
of which are reproduced in this publication, are perhaps the first
264 pages, 120 sepia photographs, 5 drawings
photographs of the Buddhist site of Sanchi, and a series of remarkable

Edited by Sudeshna Guha, with contributions from Michael Dodson,
Tapati Guha-Thakurta, Robert Harding and Christopher Pinney

Drawing on the photographic albums in the personal collection of Sir
John Marshall, Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India
from 1902–1928, this volume is a study exploring multiple perceptions of
Indian history and related scholarship produced through archaeological
fieldwork during the colonial period.
While maintaining focus on Marshall’s contributions to South Asian
archaeology, the themes of the essays include the rise of archaeology as
an authoritative element for historical scholarship during the 18th and
19th centuries, the preservation of monuments and historical landscapes,
and the complex relationships between photography and archaeology. The
book highlights major sites such as Sanchi, Sarnath, Mohenjodaro and

Sonabai
Another Way of Seeing
Stephen P Huyler, with a foreword by Leslie Umberger

The art of Sonabai Rajawar has no precedent. She is one of the few self-
taught artists of India, whose story expresses the capacity of human beings
everywhere to meet their challenges head-on, and to draw from deep
within their inner resources the strength and insight to change their lives.
Sonabai: Another Way of Seeing is the result of years of research by the
author. Through stories, insightful documentation and evocative images in
colour, he conveys Sonabai’s life and that of her family and community,
portraying the remarkable productivity that resulted from her isolation,
and the influence she had on the work of seven other local artists.
For a decade and a half, Sonabai was forcibly removed from almost
everything she had known growing up. Undaunted, she found ways to
transform her oppression into expressions of beauty and joy in living,
creating an entirely new artistic expression with no guidance or

Painting

Raja Ravi Varma
Painter of Colonial India
Rupika Chawla

Ravi Varma (1848–1906) was closely connected with the erstwhile royal
house of Travancore. He was one of the first Indian painters to successfully
adopt Western painting techniques and adapt academic realism to the
visual interpretation of Indian mythology. His genre of paintings, which
eventually lead to chromolithographs (oleographs), has maintained a
lasting effect on the Indian sensibility, making him the best-known
classical painter of the modern era.
This book is an account of Ravi Varma’s traditional background and
environment and the manner in which they related to the modernization
of colonial India; his profession as an aristocratic itinerant painter, his
royal patrons, his portraits and the analysis of his mythological and iconic
paintings; his influence on the Indian mindset, the sources used by him
and his controversial status from the late 19th century till today even
while contemporary painters continue to be inspired by his art and his
attitude. The book is lavishly illustrated with pictures taken from princely
and private collections and museums. These also appear in the book
among the works that have never been seen before, previously
undisclosed maps, letters, photographs and other archival material.

Rupika Chawla is a conservator of paintings who has restored several
Ravi Varma art works and also imparts training in conservation. She has
written extensively on contemporary Indian art and maintained a column
in the Indian Express from 2001 to 2004.

Temple Potters of Puri
Louise Allison Cort and Purna Chandra Mishra

This book is the first to describe in detail a community of potters working
for the Jagannatha Temple in Puri, and to explore how the role of temple
servant affects the potters’ understanding of their work and of
themselves. As a pilgrimage centre of national importance, supported by
the patronage of successive regional dynasties and by fervent popular
belief, the Jagannatha Temple requires earthenware in great quantities for
the creation and distribution of the sacred food that is an integral feature
of daily ritual and pilgrimage.
Three hundred potters participate as temple servants in maintaining the
temple’s ritual cycle by performing their divinely assigned task. This study,
conducted in 1979–1981, observes the potters’ technical prowess, sustained
by devotion, but also examines the tensions within their relationships to
more powerful temple servants and authorities. The role of the potter as

Sensibility Objectified
The Sculputres of Sarbari Roy Choudhury
R Siva Kumar

The sculptural sensibility of Sarbari Roy Choudhury represented in this
monograph is figurative and animated, revealing the artist’s connection
with the Indian traditions of sculpture, despite the influences from his
contacts with the West.
Roy Choudhury is a modeller in the best modernist tradition, for whom
sculpture is the magical act of turning clay into flesh. Like the work of
many modern artists his figures often seem to exist outside the rationale
of naturalism, but they are seldom dehumanized. Imbued with the
organic, they are lyrically transformed and not expressively transfixed. A
figurative sculptor, who pursues perfection, he is also a portraitist of great
sensitivity, for whom music is the greatest inspiration. Some of his best
works are of classical musicians—Bade Gulam Ali, Ali Akar Khan,
Siddeshwari Devi and Kesarbai.

Pradyumna Kumar (text and illustrations), translated from Hindi by

This is a story about a tiny firefly pondering over its insignificance and
witnessing the gradual distancing between trees and humankind.
She watched the ants carry away tiny pieces of spilled food and lead a

she was the only one who was useless. One day, there was a forest fire
and everybody helped put out the fire. The Firefly wanted to help too.
She begged the Sun for some light. When it got dark, she let her light
shine through the dark. Soon, the other fireflies joined her. Nobody was
afraid of the dark anymore. The Firefly was finally happy.
The illustrations are drawn in the Mithila (also Madhubani) style of
painting from northeastern India. Giving equal weight in its drawings to

Royal Tombs of India
13th to 18th Century
A S Bhalla

Royal Tombs of India is a first-of-a-kind book on the Islamic royal tombs
in India, providing a rare insight into lesser-known facts about the history
and evolution of tomb architecture. It focuses on the tombs of Tughluq,
Lodi, Qutb Shahi and Mughal dynasties. These tombs are among the most
magnificent pieces of Islamic architecture and grandeur. The Hindu and
Persian Safavid influences in pre-Mughal and Mughal tombs in a central
theme of the book, and the historical and architectural contexts of the
dynasties are also described. The author traces history of royal tombs—
from the Egyptian pyramids, Greek/Roman mausoleums and the Chinese
royal tombs to Islamic tombs of Central Asia, Pakistan and India. The
controversy surrounding the location of Babur’s tomb is also discussed in
152 pages, 87 colour photographs and
this book.

Mosques of Cochin
Patricia Tusa Fels

The book documents the surviving vernacular mosques of Cochin—the
jewel of the trading culture of the Malabar Coast of Kerala, and where
historic patterns of an urban trading culture remain visible in the
buildings and layout of the city. Sited in compounds replete with coconut
palms, the mosques offer an oasis of tranquillity in densely populated
neighbourhoods. Large wood-framed pyramidal roofs, deep overhangs,
and fine wooden craftsmanship distinguish the Kerala vernacular. The
mosques of Cochin stand as powerful and visible expressions of the
integration of Islam into the culture of Malabar. However, they are hardly
mentioned in architectural histories or heritage surveys. This book brings
recognition to them as highly valued resources.

LE CORBUSIER
Chandigarh and the Modern City
Edited by Hasan-Uddin Khan, with Julian Beinart and Charles Correa

Chandigarh—the icon of modern city planning and Le Corbusier’s legacy—has
provided a new paradigm for planning in India and an inspiration for a new
generation of Indian architects. After over 55 years of its founding, the city
continues to hold many lessons for planning and architecture. This visually
engaging monograph, through images and essays, looks at the original
ideas and subsequent changes in the city and what they might mean for
current city planning and architectural theory and practice. It revisits
Chandigarh and examines its built and social form, reviewing the changes
in the city, its inhabitants and architecture. A group of experts creatively
speculate through different lenses about the transformation of the city
from its original conception to the pressures of retaining its character. This
240 pages, 130 photographs including monograph offers valuable lessons for other cities of the world.

CRAFTS OF INDIA
Handmade in India
Edited by Aditi Ranjan and M P Ranjan

Handmade in India is a unique compendium that probes into all aspects
of handicrafts—historical, social and cultural influences on crafts, design
and craft processes, traditional and new markets, products and tools—
unravelling a wealth of knowledge. Based on extensive field work and
research, Handmade in India maps the regional craft clusters on the basis
of prevailing craft-work patterns, documenting all the renowned crafts
and also the lesser known crafts, making this a truly comprehensive
resource on Indian crafts.

Aditi Ranjan teaches textile design at the National Institute of Design,
India. M P Ranjan is an industrial designer and teaches at the National
Institute of Design, India.

Daughters of India
Art and Identity
Stephen P Huyler

Daughters of India is about change in the face of almost impossible odds,
personal initiative that carves out a new identity, and implacable
insistence on the recognition of human rights—providing beautifully
illustrated and stirring tribute to Indian women. The author has profiled
20 women whose stories express the innate strength they demonstrate in
their battles against adversity. They represent the everywoman: the
traditional, the contemporary, the repressed, the highly innovative, the
outcast and the entrepreneur. This tribute to the Indian women, who is
one among every six woman in the world, sheds light on a multifaceted
population that lives in relative obscurity.

Stephen P Huyler is an art historian, cultural anthropologist,
photographer and author, with a life-long interest in India. He has
curated several exhibitions on Indian art and culture. His latest book
is Sonabai: Another Way of Seeing (Mapin, 2009).
