These plates originate from the book The Creation of an Iconography as based on Shaivite narrative (original title: 鈥�La cr茅ation d'une iconographie siva茂te narrative鈥�) which details the sculptures and construction temples of the Pallava dynasty (in the Tamil-speaking Southern India) near the end of the 7th century. Usually, such constructions were dedicated to Shiva having the walls adorned with representations of Siva in various embodiments: some benign, some fierce and sanguinary, others victorious and regal.
