Book Launch of Christian de Vietri's 'Trika Maṇḍala Prakāśa'

On the 20th of November, 2024, the OCHS hosted a webinar with the author Christian de Vietri in conversation with special guest Christopher Wallis, to celebrate the release of de Vietri’s new book ‘Trika Maṇḍala Prakāśa: Illuminating the mandalas of Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka’. The event was hosted by Professor Christopher Dorsett as a part of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Associate Artist Scheme.

Information about the book:
Written and illustrated by the artist Christian de Vietri, Trika Maṇḍala Prakāśa is the first comprehensive presentation of all Trika mandala designs described by the great Kashmiri theologian Abhinavagupta in his tenth-century magnum opus, the Tantrāloka . Each meticulously translated and decoded configuration is elegantly displayed verse-by-verse in full colour with precise measurements. The 430 images that make up this unique large-format work of art and scholarship are contained within a textual exposition that situates them historically, philosophically, and spiritually while providing context for their contemporary application.
