This book makes an in-depth study of the art of mountain temples of India, with special focus on the door frames in Himachal Pradesh. Going deep into the historical significance of the art of the door-frames of various temples, it compares the development and iconographic features of the temple door-frames in Himachal Pradesh with their counterparts in other parts of the country.
It also discusses the relationship between the two to highlight the extension of art idioms from one region to the other. The details of the exquisitely carved door-frames of the large niches in the rock-cut complex at Masrur and the wooden door-frames of the Dakshineshwara Mahadev at Nirmand and Lakshmi Devi at Brahmaur have been described as well.
