This book explores how the knowledge of Ayurveda was depicted in temple sculptures. The focus is on Shalabhanjikas, Yakshis and Dohada figures, which are depicted as celestial beauties on the outer walls of temples throughout India. This book covers two interesting aspects: 1) The various types of medicinal plants depicted along with these figures; 2) The dress code and elaborate jewelry that has been standardized for these sculptures. This highly illustrative book is a comprehensive documentation of how these figurines have immortalized the Ayurvedic and the cultural heritage of India.
