Organised in an immediately accessible A-Z structure, fully cross-referenced throughout, the book covers the pantheon of gods of South and Central Asian mythology, from Aditi to the Yidams of Tibet. It includes over 150 colour pictures of all the key characters, signs, symbols, and events, such as mythical mountains, sacred rivers, the Mother Goddess and the life of the Buddha, many taken from original sources.
Central to the book are detailed tales of gods, spirits, and demons not only from India, but Tibet and Sri Lanka. Included are legends of gods and people who have shaped religious and philosophical thinking throughout the world for thousands of years to the present day.
