I'm looking for visual representations of the Hindu culture, Art, Photography, Calligraphy, etc..
Can somebody point me on a better direction than google has?
I'm looking for art that is both, beautifull and professional.
Thanks in advance!

You might try sites for major museums. They frequently have mini sites for particular exhibits. I saw something recently for lots of eastern artwork. I can't remember where though. Maybe Chicago? Urk.
Start with NY. Hope that's helpful.

anything in particular? goddesses, gods, animals, symbols, rivers: ganga, yamuna, gangotri (glacier). I recommend checking out the art for the Bhagavad Gita:

jaylarson, anything that can be seen..
I have a gig doing stage visuals comming up, and I'm doing some research before I start working on the artwork. So anything goes, architecture, paintings (that last link you sent me was great!) religion, transportation, food, etc.
Thanks again!

actually, boths sides of the muslim and hindu conflict are easily provoked and just as dangerous. I believe the person accused of slaying Mahatma Gandhi was a radical Hindu...
