The Migration of Vishnu into Southeast Asia
Description
The Migration of Vishnu into Southeast Asia will begin with a discussion of the earliest Vishnu image found in Southeast Asia relative to its potential Indian antecedents from various parts of the Indian subcontinent. Although this early image relates quite closely to its Indian prototypes, the successor images of long-robed Vishnus that appear throughout Southeast Asia show little affinity to those being sculpted at the time in India. Later, as individual polities evolve in Southeast Asia, so do specific sculptural styles, some of which again demonstrate similarities with what was occurring in India. The talk will end with a consideration of the Indian influence on some of these later styles.
