SATYA RANJAN BANERJEE: A NOTE ON JAINA ICONOGRAPHY
123
At the end it can be said that the Jain Iconography of Professor B.C. Bhattacharya is still a pioneering work, and whoever wants to study Jain Iconography must consult this book as an authority. Originally the book was published from Lahore in 1939. Its second revised edition was done in 1974 with a foreword by B.N. Sharma, the then Keeper of the National Museum of New Delhi. His Foreword is an excellent one and gives succintly the information about Jain Iconography. My article is based on this book with some additional notes from here and there to record the facts at a glance and to deal with the matter chronologically as far as possible'.

In writing this, I have derived much help from my friend Dr. S.C. Mukherjee of Calcutta.
