Luminous Harmony: Indian Art and Culture reveals the universal resonance in Indian art and culture, covering the grand Indian heritage by providing an overview of both the visual and performing arts. Votive traditions are also taken up, followed by an inquiry into traditions and rituals. The impact of Islam on Indian art and culture; cultural linkages with Central, South and Southeast Asia; India’s festivals; the sociology of Indian music and cinema; the role of mathematics in arts are among the other topics covered in this well-researched book.
