Department of Sculpture
The Department of Sculpture, established in September 1981 has undertaken more than a dozen research projects and prepared a four-volume Encyclopaedia of Hindu Iconography. Concentration of research is mainly on the impact of Bhakti literature on the art and culture of India, in general and those of the State of TamilNadu in particular. Apart from facilities for doing research towards M.Phil. and Ph.D., the Department has a P.G.programme in History, Art and Culture.
The Academic Staff have been contributing articles in leading National and International journals, besides taking part in Symposia and Seminars both in India and abroad.

Disseminating all that is essential in Sculpture, bringing out the dynamism of Indian Art in all its perspective, with its regional ramifications, establishing an Archive for Sculptural artifacts and a continuous academic rapport for pursuing scholarly research are a few of the aims of the Department.
