Dear Friends
In continuation of our series of visual essays based on the Priya Paul
Collection of Indian popular art, Tasveer Ghar (the house of images)
announces two new essays, by Richard Davis and Arvind Rajagopal, on
the themes of Hindu god posters and the images of commodity,
respectively:

(1) “Temple in a Frame: God Posters For and Of Worship”
By Richard H. Davis

We hope that you would enjoy reading these essays. You are invited to
write in your comments and feedback about the essay using the online
feedback feature given at the end of the essay.

While we are soon going to announce more essays based on the Priya
Paul images, the previous such essays can also be seen at the website.

Flows and Urban Spaces” to be held on 4th and 5th June 2010, at
Heidelberg, Germany, supported by the Cluster of Excellence, Asia and
