Srishti Sankaranarayanan’s ongoing dissertation project historicizes the design and construction of colossal temple-cars (tērs) that convey bronze images of Hindu deities during seasonal processions in southern India. Previously, Srishti held museum internships and research fellowships at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City), Asia Society (New York), the Museum of Art and Photography (Bengaluru, India), the Denver Art Museum (Colorado), the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Pennsylvania), and the Government Museum of Chennai (Chennai, Tamil Nadu).
