THE ICONOGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT OF YAMA
This paper traces the iconographic symbolism of the South Asian deity Yama from its earliest origins in the Rig Veda through Tibetan tantric Buddhism utilizing a 19th century CE Tibetan, gold-plated bronze Yama sculpture in the collection of the Museum Volkenkunde in Leiden.
This paper analyzes the 7th century Mahisasuramardini cave temple relief at Mahabalipuram and suggests that it conveys several levels of meaning, of which two are addressed. One references historic conflict between the Pallava and Chalukhya kingdoms and the second signifies regional climate cycles and flood events.
This paper examines the six stone-carved Saivite relief panels in cave 29 at the Ellora cave complex at Dhumar Lena and considers how the Pasupata sectarian identity may have been articulated as well as how the reliefs’ iconography may have been utilized in the context of temple worship.
