About The Book

Painting being an important medium for the expression of visual fantasies from the prehistoric times, the artists of Andhra during the medieval period under the royal patronage decorated the walls and ceilings of the temples in different colors choosing mostly the epic themes to showcase the moral and ethical values besides extolling the greatness of the Gods and Goddesses. Excepting the paintings of Lepakshi that are well-known both at national and global level, the mural paintings that survive in few temples of Andhra have not received the due attention of the art historians that they deserve and there is no full length study on the subject till now.
