Happily my Ph. D. Thesis, on account of its high merit (a pioneer work and the contributions which I could make there being regarded as so high that the award of Ph. D. Degree was the least credit for such a scientific and conscientious labour) was singled out by the University of Lucknow for seeking a substantial grant from the University Grants Commission, for its publication in an extended investigation. This gave me an added impetus to take considerable pains to make a fuller survey in such a manner of this subject as to evolve out a comprehensive work dealing practically with all the main branches of Hindu Iconography as already pointed out below; hence the emergence of this book.
