Description:

Balaji–Venkateshwara: An Introduction attempts to unravel the life of Balaji and study his temple, nestled in the hills of South India. It is said that Lord Vishnu, to rescue a world in distress, took the form of Balaji-Venkateshwara, the destroyer of all sins. Yet, who really was Balaji? What is the legend behind his incarnation? What are the stories behind his temple’s origin? What are the meanings behind the rituals he demands? The book attempts to answer these questions, and more, for the pilgrim-soul.

The Temple of Balaji or Venkateshwara on Tirumala hill above the town of Tirupati in India has become a focal point of contemporary religion attracting crowds of all ages,faiths and Nationaliteis.However,not much is known about the God,except his ability to answer prayers and perform the most improbable miracles.Not many people are aware that the sanctity of the God and the hill is over two thousand years old.What makes the temple so popular,and what are the beliefs of the people,are the questions that this Book has tried to answer.

This Book is a collection of the folk legends about Venkateshwara,the sacred Tirumala hill and it's many lakes and waterfalls,his miracles,and the beutiful rituals and festivals associated with him.He is a manifestation of Vishnu the preserver,and his association with the other incarnations is well documented.

There are rare photographs of the God,his gold and diamond jewellery,the various other bronzes and sculptures contained in the temple and the images of the festivals for which Tirumala has been famous from time immemorial.The illustrations of the stories have been executed in the Tirupati style of drawing.

This Book should be of equal interest to to the layman,the scholar and the devotee,and a valuable addition to every home and library.

One of the most cherished forms of paintings in India, Patachitra is centred on the State of Orissa. The master painter has come out with a classic painting of Lord Balaram, one of the key figures in the ratha yatra, in a most brilliant form. Using pigment and watercolours, he has made the superb painting in tussar silk and has given a perfect finishing touch. Indeed a collector's choice. The prominence of variegated colours, the lies have given the painting a masterly appearance.

The beautiful image of Lord Balaram, the brother of Ram has been nicely carved out with some spectacular cravings. The standing and tall figure reveals a rare sense of treatment and sculptural excellence. The older brother of Krishna, Balaram was so powerful that he single handedly at a very tender age, killed the great demon, Asuradhenuka, who had the form of a ass. Another demon tried to carry off Balaram on his shoulders, but the young boy beat out the demon's brain with his fist.

When Shri Krishna went to Mathura, Balaram accompanied him and supported him till Kamsa was killed by Shri Krishna. He also taught Duryodhan and Bheem, the use of the mace. His chief weapon is ploughshare (hal) and therefore called Haldhar.

Brother of Lord Krishna, Lord Balaram is a key figure in the Patachitra painting. He is beautifully depicted here with some dazzling floral designs. Some floral motifs border the framework of the painting. The lines and pattern of colours have been given a strong depiction in the painting.

Description:

The riverside of the holy city of Banaras has always attracted the attention of people. From the late eighteenth century onwards, both amateur and professional European painters were drawn to paint the panoramic scenic beauty of its ghats (“holy landing places”, used also for ritualistic bathing). The ghats are a vast area of space for the religious and cultural life of the city, serving also as the “lungs” of the thick population of the city which they fringed. These were gradually stone-paved and steps leading to the river were built; this trend mainly started in the second half of the sixteenth century. This great architecture movement was initiated by the Rajputs and subsequently followed by Maratha donors. In the present illustration folder, the core of this chain of ghats was already built while the flanks were yet to come.
Pilgrims taking ablution in the holy waters of the Ganga, dhobis washing clothes, corpses being cremated, cows and horses roaming, and such daily scenes as can still be seen today on the banks of the river have been treated with rare insight and humour. The river is replete with many types of boats, a principal mode of locomotion, such as goods-laden boats, ferry boats, pleasure boats of different denominations with liveried boatsmen, rowing boats, sail boats, boats drawn upstream by ropes. . . .
These paintings are the work of a “Company School” local painter, working in a localized tradition of British landscape water colour. The scenes are mostly naturalistic and present an authentic account of the riverfront.
