This lecture on Hindu mythology uses temple sculpture to describe the principal Gods and Goddesses of the Hindu pantheon, their origins from the Vedic religion, their common manifestations and some of the associated legends that these sculptures illustrate, mostly from India, but with some examples from South East Asia. This lecture aims to demystify a complex subject and necessarily involves much simplification.
