| Summary: | The very beginnings of image worship in India are still obscure. The early Vedic forms of iconic cults have been subsequently substituted by the iconic Hindu ones. It might be argued that there were often inconsistencies in early forms of the temple worship of deities like Vishnu and Śiva. In the first centuries of the first millennium the two competitive groups of ritualists attempted to dominate the domain of the temple worship. The first group consisted of the ritual specialists adhering to a vedic mode of worship. The second group comprises the ritual innovators, the adherents to the iconic form of worship. It is not all clear from where the cultic innovators had been recruited. The religious symbols and religious icons were vividly discussed by ritualists, image makers and philosophers. Religious image is to be conceived in its widest sense, both, as the product of imagination and visualization of practices and that material one, the product of image-making tradition. The Indian image-making tradition is being represented by its own literature. The problems to be discussed here are diversified and belong to iconology, aesthetics and the psychology of art. |
