Darsan by Diana Eck
Although the role of the visual is essential to Indian tradition and culture, most attempts to understand its images are laden with misperceptions. Darsan, a Sanskrit word that means seeing, is an aid to our vision, a book of ideas to help us read, think, and look at Hindu images with tolerance and imagination.
An explanation of temple worship and the use of Deity imagesDarsan will give the Hindu deeper insight into the practices of his own religion, provide explanations for non-Hindu friends, and convey useful konowledge to his children. Hinduism Today
