Aditi

by Robert Adams

This book explores one area of India`s vast and fabled heritage: the impact of performance, crafts, and myth on the world of the child as he traverses the cycle of life in traditional Indian society. It has been published to accompany the brilliant exhibition, Aditi--A Celebration of Life, which was first mounted in New Delhi for the International Year of the Child and again in 1982 as part of the London Festival of India. Thie unique exhibition, with its 2000 objects and 40 artisans and performers, has been brought to the Smithsonian as part of our observance of the year of India.
