The Unknown Iconography of India

Beyond the classification of the Indian iconography some sculptures are not properly accounted and neglected as unimportance. That insisted the author to reflect in “the unknown iconography of India”. The author has broken the barrier of the Neolithic era and has crossed the line yonder that. Out of four classification of iconography the author has created a new classification of iconography as the ancient iconography of India by including ekapāda Bhairava of bhairon pāhād of ghudar in the district of balangir Odisha and the iconography of Lord Jagannath of Puri Odisha and have fixed the date circa C. 9000 B.C.-7000 B.C.; may be much more back to the era of Ramayana. Ekapāda Bhairava of bhairon pāhād is the only and unique ekapāda Bhairava sculpture of India where bhairon pāhād was an epicentre of the tantric rituals. “The unknown iconography of India” shall compel the scholars to think over for its justification.
