Singh, N.K.
Coronation of Shiva

Masrur temples are dedicated to Coronation of Shiva and Parvati while all God and Goddesses are in attendance; a theme depicted no where in India. This book brings to light the unique structure with its history and hoary past as articulated by the single rock on which the temples majestically stand. It also revolutionaries prevailing beliefs about the temple sculpture aesthetics of India thus opening new window of art appreciation and a sense of wonder about the thematic uniqueness and identity of artists.

N. K. SINGH is the former Chairman of International Airports Authority of India. He also served as Chairman, National Shipping Board and as Adviser with the United Nations. Presently, he lives in a forest in Himachal engaged in writing and painting besides active public service.

Maharaj, Pt. Birju
Ang Kavya:


Due to the paucity of good books with authentic information on Kathak dance, the need for a book like Ang Kavya was greatly felt. Earlier, dance movements had no established names, and hence it was difficult to refer to them without actually showing them.

Born in the family of hereditary dancers. BIRJU MAHARAJ is the torch-bearer of the famous family, Kalka-Bindadin Gharana of Lucknow, which has been serving the art of Kathak dance through centuries.
