 uraishi\, Dr Preeti Bahadur Ramaswami\, Vinit Vyas\n\nDrawing on court min
 iatures from the Himalayas to the Deccan\, this session provides a general
  introduction to sensory approaches in art history. It considers what thes
 e works reveal about people\, places\, cultures\, and lived experiences ac
 ross time\; what it means to feel an image rather than merely see it\; and
  how such an approach might open up new ways of imagining the past.\n\n[DI

 they continue to influence contemporary art techniques.\n\n[DIALOGUE 3]\n\
