This Volume is a tribute of professor M.A. Dhaky's profound and influrntial scholarship by an international community of well-known scholars in the field of south and Southeast Asian temple art and architecture. The thirty-two essays that make this book unfold many layers of the temple's imagery, taking a broad view and traversing religious, cultural, and temporal boundaries. While a majority of these are rooted in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tibet, Nepal, Cambodia, and Vietnam also figure prominently.
