Dear Paolo,

One of the best studies on animals in Indian culture is Alexandra van der Geer's Animals in Stone: Indian Mammals Sculptured Through Time, Brill. Leiden & Boston; 2008. See Chapters 33, 34, 35 ((Lion, Leopard,& Tiger). She provides an excellent brief synopsis and an almost overwhelming bibliography.

Dear indologists,

May anyone suggest me any study on the symbolism of tiger and lion (more specifically on their association with Durga [Kali, Parvati, etc.] and with kingship)?

With the best wishes,
Paolo
