Hindu Gods and Goddesses 
300 Illustrations from "The Hindu Pantheon"

Reflecting the spirit of East Indian myths, legends, and fables, these illustrations were compiled by one of the nineteenth century’s foremost Orientalists. Edward Moor published The Hindu Pantheon in 1810, and this new volume draws upon his exposition of India’s religious iconography to offer a spectacular array of images of Hindu deities.Dramatic engravings and line drawings include scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata as well as temple images of Krishna, Vishnu, Siva, and other major gods and goddesses. Many are derived from bronze figurines; others are reproduced from manuscript illustrations. All appear with captions for ease of identification.
