This volume is a collection of twelve papers invited for a
National Seminar based on the seminar work, Truth and Beauty : Aesthetics and motivations
in Science by the Nobel Laureate S. Chandrasekhar. The contributions are by experts
in Arts, Fine Arts and Science, exploring the themes of creativity, beauty and truth in
their respective subjects of specialisation. It is hoped that this publication will
lead to more dialogues between the practitioners of Arts and Sciences.
