This book tells the stories of ten mysterious people, styles and objects
in Indian art from the prehistoric period to the present day-and in the

canvas we call Indian art. The stories told here include those of:
The Bhimbetka paintings
The evolution of the Buddha
The Ajanta caves
The Kailashanatha temple
The Pithora paintings
Women artists of the Mughal era
Bani Thani

Manaku of Guler
The Sripuranthan Shiva Nataraja
Mamta Nainy explores diverse artistic periods, explains different art
forms, and gives insights into the lives of artists working in different
times and spaces, one curious case at a time.
