Introductory IndoWiccan / IndoPagan Readings

	The Role of the Devotional Image in Hinduism   This is an absolutely AMAZING online resource for those just learning about (or for those who just love taking in beautiful traditional and educational imagery) traditional Hindu practices. This is basically an online documentary on the role that devotional images have in Hindu worship. The article itself is about 19 pages long, with many spectacular pictures from various Indian locales to illustrate the material being presented.   What is most appealing, is that there are several video clips with full audio showing various Hindu devotional practices, and narrated for greater comprehension. This is a wonderful resource for observing traditional practices, so that one will have a better grasp on how to perform them, or how they may be adapted to an IndoPagan practice.
