DESCRIPTION
Lives of Indian Images
For many centuries, Hindus have taken it for granted that the religious images they place in temples and
home shrines for purposes of worship are alive. Hindu priests bring them to life through a complex ritual
"estblishment"that invokes the god or goddess into material support. Priests and devotees then
maintain the enlivened image as a divine person through ongoing liturgical activity: they must awaken it
in the morning, bathe it, dress it, feed it, entertain it, praise it, and eventually put it to bed at night. In this
linked series of case studies of Hindu religious objects, Richard Davis argues that in some sense these
believers are correct: through ongoing interactions with humans, religious objects are brought to
life.Davis draws largely on reader-response literary theory and anthropological approaches to the study
of objects in society in order to trace the biographies of Indian religious images over many centuries. He
shows that Hindu priests and worshipers are not the only ones to enliven images. Bringing with them
differing religious assumptions, political agendas, and economic motivations, others may animate the
very same objects as icons of sovereignty, as polytheistic "idos,"as "devls,"as
potentially lucrative commodities, as objects of sculptural art, or as symbols for a whole range of new
meanings never foreseen by the images' makers or original worshipers.
