Valpey extends the discussion on Indian images and their worship, bringing historical and comparative dimensions and considers Krishna worship in the context of modernity, both in India and the West. The book focuses on one specific worship tradition, the Chaitanya Vaishnava tradition of the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, as it develops and sustains itself in two specific locales.
