From Temple To Museum: Colonial Collections And Uma Mahesvara Icons In The Middle Ganga Valley (Archaeology And Religion In South Asia)

This book traces the lives of religious sculptures beyond its creation. The study highlights contentious issues in Indian archaeology such as: renegotiating identities of religious images, reuse and sharing of sacred space by adherents of different faiths, rebuilding of temples and consequent reinvention of sites where these images were located.
