Depiction of nature in the sculptural art of early Deccan (Up to 10th century A.D.) Phyu, U By the title Depiction of Nature in the Sculptural Art of Early Deccan, we mean to understand how nature, Le., fauna and flora in the context of the present study, came to be conceptualized by the sculptor in its depiction on sculptural art that primarily reflected his perception of understanding nature as he saw it. It also involved representation that was usually embedded in a religious meaning or symbolism that was being conveyed since many of the monuments on which this sculptural art was (bund were centres of worship. Hitherto, very few scholars have exclusively studied nature in sculptural ari but a large majority of these studies have focused on understanding it only as a marginal or decorative part of art history. In fact, no special attention has been made to study the depiction of nature in its varied natural forms in the context of regional history. Therefore, the present research undertaken by us in this thesis essentially aims at describing the depiction of nature in sculptural art in a regional context, namely, of the early Deccan. In an overall sense this was conceptualized by the sculptor to be embedded in a naturalism that was essentially linked to an ideological belief system that saw human intervention with nature in a holistic and integrative way rather than being separated from it. 2004-01-13 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000002900 https://meral.edu.mm/records/2900
