About the Book

The Ganga-Gomati-Sai valley is the cradle of human civilization. The first divine instinct in Man (Homo Sapiens) is love for the mother. So the first evidence of Mother Goddess worship came from Newal in the Ganga Valley in the form of a stone-torso representing the lower parts of the Mother Goddess with emphasis on her pudenda, the source of all creation. Another figure of the Divine Mother was found from Belan Valley in the form of a bone statuette belonging to the Upper Palaeolithic period. A site in Madhya Pradesh, Baghor by name, has also yielded a similar evidence. The Upper Palaeolithic engraved core found at Chandravati: Rajasthan supports the symbolic representation of a Mother Goddess and fertility rituals. All these evidence go to suggest that Man had the ability to think over abstract things apart from those related to mundane life and culture.This light of learning and spiritual knowledge had emanated from the East. It is rightly said that (Rv. I. 123.2) the glow of knowledge and culture rose from the East and it awakened and enlightened the whole world.Here an attempt has been made to show that the art in the Ganga Valley had reached its full flower and fruition by the ingenuity and imagination of the people inhabiting its fertile plains. Certain specimens of the Maurya-Sunga Art of this region are unique and outstanding in the whole repertoire of Indian art.I hope the readers would like to go through the book and evince further interest in the study and understanding of the different aspects of Indian art, history and archaeology. About Author : Born at Bangarmau, a small town in district Unnao (UP), Dr. K S Shukla graduated in 1957 from Agra University and obtained his Master's degree in English from the same University. Later he did his MA in AIHC and Archaeology from BHU in 1967 and soon after joined the school of Archaeology, New Delhi and topped the list of successful candidates in 1968. he got PhD degree from Sagar University, Sagar (MP).He had excavated Rajghat (Varanasi) and Kalibangan (Rajasthan). He explored more than 70 sites in the upper Mid-Ganga Valley and found for the first time the Acheulian hand axes and Chopper-chopping tools at the ancient sites of Bangarmau and Kannauj in the Ganga Valley. His discovery of pre-Harappan terracotta compartmented seals at many sites in the Ganga Valley has opened a new vista of the archaeological importance of the Gangetic region and its unique contribution to the emergence of writing system in the Saraswati-Indus valley in the later periods.
