The exploits of Krishna have been and continue to be a great source of inspiration for the Indian artist. The author Pradip Zaveri has painstakingly collected images from temples, palaces, havelis, mansions, schools and houses during his extensive travels in Gujarat and Rajasthan. This book explores the Krishna myth in its historical and cultural context. This collection essentially tells the story of Krishna's life as a child and then moves on to his adolescence as a cowherd, followed by his romantic dalliances. It includes paintings that illustrate the deeds of Vishnu and his other avataras. These wall paintings provide detailed glimpses of the social and cultural life of the people. Sadly this form of artistic representation is on the verge of extinction. In this book Pradip Zaveri preserves for posterity's sake this vibrant tradition that is an integral part of the country's representative art forms." -- Publisher's description 546 $a In English, with Indic passages. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Preface -- The background -- Introduction -- History -- Krishna and the Indian tradition -- Bhakti movement -- Krishna in murals of Gujarat and Rajasthan -- Depiction of Krishna in wall paintings -- Nathdwara school of painting and influence of Pushti Marg -- Murals in medieval period of Gujarat and Rajasthan -- Krishna in folk and decorative arts -- The legend -- Feats and Leelas of Krishna -- Makhanchor: Krishna stealing butter -- Release of Gandharvas -- Krishna Gopala: pastoral life of Krishna -- Daanleela: demand of toll -- Kaliya Daman: quelling of serpent Kaliya -- Worship of Mount Govardhana -- Gopi Vastraharan: Krishna stealing clothes of Gopis -- Krishna plays Holi with Gopis -- Krishna Radha -- Venu Gopala: Krishna the flute player -- Rassleela -- Events before Krishna slaying Kansa -- Rukmini Vivah: wedding of Rukmini -- Krishna and Sudama -- Draupadi's Chirharan: forceful disrobing of Draupadi -- Vishnu and his incarnations -- Samudramanthan: churning of the ocean -- Gajendra Moksha: liberation of Gajendra, an elephant king -- Weighing of Krishna -- Nava-Nari Kunjara: Krishna astride an elephant formed by a group of Gopis -- Premanand and Okhaharan. 600 00 $a Krishna $c (Hindu deity) $v In art. 600 00 $a Krishna $c (Hindu deity) $x Folklore. 600 00 $a Krishna $c (Hindu deity) $x Legends. 600 07 $a Krishna $c (Hindu deity) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989141 650 0 $a Mural painting and decoration $z Gujarat. $z Gujarat. 650 0 $a Mural painting and decoration $z Rajasthan. $z Rajasthan. 650 7 $a Mural painting and decoration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029558 651 7 $a India $z Gujarat. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01213726 651 7 $a India $z Rajasthan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205374 655 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 $a Art. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Paintings. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Legends. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Folk literature. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032005.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=60A92114E9E911EBBBC9467A3DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
