In this book, the author explores the Fundamentals of Indian Art, covering various topics such as Special Features of Indian Art, Symbolism and Idealism, Technique and Methods of Indian Art, and Some Characteristics of Indian Art Theories. Jagannatha, a 17th-century aesthetics writer, introduced the term 'ramaniya' while delving into the concept of beauty. He defined beauty as a unique and transcendent pleasure with universal and emotional aspects. This experience, separate from ordinary pleasure, is directly intuited. Jagannatha differentiated it from 'rasa,' an aesthetic sentiment derived from art. Rabindranath suggested that beauty provides joy without utility, indicating internal fulfillment, unlike ordinary joy linked to desire. Aesthetic pleasure lacks defined conditions, making it elusive.

Surendranath Dasgupta (1887–1952) was an Indian scholar renowned for his expertise in Sanskrit and Indian philosophy. Born in Bengal, he excelled in Sanskrit at Calcutta's Ripon College before obtaining master's degrees in Sanskrit and Western philosophy. Dasgupta earned acclaim for his contributions to the History of Indian Philosophy, a groundbreaking five-volume series. His career included teaching positions, prestigious lectures, and international recognition. Despite health issues, Dasgupta remained dedicated to his scholarly pursuits until his death in 1952.
