This book covers topics representing two different, but interrelated, disciplines, namely, archaeology and ethnography. The art and culture, as discussed in this monograph, span Hindu and local ethnic traditions, these being often amalgamated in matter of social and religious expression. This study reveals, there are two underlying currents in the art of Bastar: the classical art which is mostly reflected in the stone sculpture of the medieval period, and the purely local art which is tribal.
