Description

Explore the complex relationship between sacrifice and heroism in this academic study by Routledge. Head and Heart: Valour and Self-Sacrifice in the Art of India provides a deep look into how self-sacrificial images function within Indian culture. By examining themes such as head-offering, human sacrifice, and blood, this work investigates the visual representations of intense devotion and bravery. This book connects religious and political contexts to explain why these specific images were created.
