Abstract
Parasols symbolize spiritual and temporal sovereignty. Umbrellas were always held over deities and
respectful persons. Parasols over deities suggest spiritual sovereignty over temporal world. As in other
religious doctrines, the parasols occupy a significant position in the Buddhist art tradition of India. The
Buddhist art of lower Krishna valley exhibit beautiful varieties of parasols which may be studied on the basis
of symbolism and iconography.
