| Forms of the Goddess Lajja Gauri in Indian Art.
BOLON, CAROL RADCLIFFE. Stock ID: 127463 Map, black and white photographic illustrations, xiii + 89pp + illustrations, index, bibliography, glossary, notes, appendix, hardback, quarto, dustjacket little creased, corners lightly bumped, still a very good copy. The best-known images of this goddess have a female torso and a lotus flower in place of a head, while her legs are bent up at the knees and drawn up to each side in a position that has been described as one of giving birth or self-display. This type of goddess figure is explained as part of a long, highly sophisticated tradition of expressing fertility and well-being in Indian art. In this book, Carol Bolon charts the changes in the goddess's form over a period of more than four centuries, including its possible adoption from tribal worship into Hindu temples, and brings a new appreciation of Lajja Gauri's rich symbolic meanings and cultural context.
