The Hindu Pantheon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hindu Pantheon was a book written by Edward Moor, an early European scholar of Indian religion. The book was intended as an introduction to Hinduism for an English audience and was the first of its kind. It was published in London in 1810.[1]
The Hindu Pantheon was illustrated with examples from Moor's own collection of Hindu artifacts, which are currently displayed in the British Museum. The Hindu Pantheon is illustrative of the Enlightenment concept of education of foreign cultures and religion and was significant as it broke from European preconceptions that Hinduism was a largely inferior and mystical religion.
