About this title: Although the role of the visual is essential to Indian tradition and culture, most attempts to understand its images are laden with misperceptions. Darsan, a Sanskrit word that means "seeing," is an aid to our vision, a book of ideas to help us read, think, and look at Hindu images with tolerance and imagination.

"This was a nice surprise for me because it focused so much on the use of images in Hinduism and the power of looking, both of looking at something and even of being looked at. I'm pursuing two majors -- art history and comparative religion -- so this book addressed both loves for me. My favorite quote from it: "A picture . . . may be worth a thousand words, but we still need to know *which* thousand words.""
