As contemporary society comes to terms with gender roles, sexuality and repression/ liberation, the Ardhanarishvara theme in Indian art can guide us in formulating questions and seeking answers. The author explores the Ardhanarishvara concept in its historical and cultural context, and its contemporary manifestations. This book is an engrossing study of an ancient image and its modern identity and relevance.
