Tree and Serpent Worship: Illustrations of Mythology and Art in India in the First and Fourth Centuries after Christ is a comprehensive book by James Fergusson that explores the ancient religious practices of India. Fergusson delves into the worship of trees and serpents, which were prominent in Indian mythology and art during the first and fourth centuries after Christ. The book provides detailed illustrations and descriptions of the various deities and symbols associated with these practices, as well as the historical and cultural contexts in which they were created. Fergusson also examines the influence of these practices on later Hindu and Buddhist traditions. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian history, religion, and art.1868.
