This book focuses on Hindu images and their worship with special reference to Vaiṣṇavism. Concentrating largely on Sanskritic source material, the author shows that Hindu image-worship may be understood via three levels of interpretation: the metaphysical/theological, the narratival or mythic, and the performative or ritual.
