The
Metropolitan Museum of Arts presentation of Hinduism and its history make good reading. If you need a resource for Hindu History their links to the left which provide historic timeline periods and various articles / essays on the subject of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain artistic development are enriching and enjoyable to lay people as they are non-technical. The images of the sculptures are also beautifully presented–as you would expect from a world famous museum. Its presentation encompasses the Sout Asia and Southeast Asia–India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma and Cambodia. Their only poor presentation is a section to the left that says cited works of art or images. The second image should be Shivalingam worshipped at Tanjavur Brihadeeshwarar, Tamilnadu, India and not as it says "Khajuraho ca. 1000 AD".
