Interrelations of Indian Literature and Arts

The multifarious relations between the sound and the word were a subject of concern for Indian authors starting from the Vedic period. It was the Samaveda and its creators that noticed the emotional value of the sound and the impact of euphonic combinations on the audience. The interactions of music and text are clearly visible in theatrical traditions although there are also some other meeting points of literature and Indian arts.

Diversity and interdisciplinary breadth were the chief criteria while collecting the articles for the present volume.
