Krishna in the traditional paintings of Bengal

This monograph deals with the history of the pat in various parts of India, the evolution of the pat of Bengal with a special analysis of the Kalighat branch, the patuas, and lastly the history and significance of the Krishna cult in lndia in general and Bengal in particular and the place of this cult in the traditional painting of Bengal. Although the traditional pat of Bengal has had for its subject a host of religious and social themes, the present monograph seeks to introduce the reader to it through illustrations of pats from the author’s personal collection dealing with one particular Hindu deity, namely, Lord Krishna.
