The Hindu Pantheon

The Hindu Pantheon was illustrated with examples from Moor’s own collection of Hindu artifacts, which are currently displayed in the British Museum. Many of the illustrations were engraved by William Blake. The Hindu Pantheon is illustrative of the Enlightenment concept of education of foreign cultures and religions; it was significant as it sought to dispel any European preconceptions that Hinduism was a largely primitive pagan religion. This book is also noted as of the first to provide a careful presentation of the Hinduism to English audience.
