The dedicated study of South Asia, its classical culture in all its myriad forms, including its literature and religion and not least, its art, has distinguished the entire scholarly life of Dieter Schlingloff. With his vast panoply of interests and his insatiable curiosity, well reflected by his publications, both in their impressive number and their diversity, he has enriched the field of South Asian Studies to a momentous degree. This work is a Festschrift on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
