Particularly topical readings include:

Vidya Dehejia, The body adorned: dissolving boundaries between sacred and profane in India's art (NY, Columbia University Press), 2009;

and the catalogue

Naman Ahuja, The body in Indian art and thought (Brussels: Europalia international; Antwerp: Ludion), 2013.

Hope this helps,
