Gates of the Lord: The Tradition of Krishna Paintings

by Amit Ambalal, Emilia Bachrach, Madhuvanti Ghose, et al.

The Pushtimarg, a Hindu sect established in India in the fifteenth century, possesses a unique culture--reaching back centuries and still vital today--in which art and devotion are deeply intertwined. This important volume, illustrated with more than one hundred vivid images, offers a new, in-depth look at the Pushtimarg and its rich aesthetic traditions, which are largely unknown outside of South Asia.
