Hi! It's nice to see someone interested in South Asian Art, considering that applicants in the field are few (as compared to other specializations). In terms of which programs to apply to, it is completely dependent on what exactly you would like to work on- for example, your list of POI's for Mughal Painting would be almost COMPLETELY different than your list for temple architecture. Since you mentioned Michael Meister, you should know that he is no longer taking on students. You might consider the world-renowned Vidya Dehejia (at Columbia), Nachiket Chanchani (at Michigan), Pika Ghosh (at UNC) and Tamara Sears (at Yale). If you are considering painting, you might be interested in John Seyller (At Vermont), Molly Aitken (at CUNY) and the legendary Catherine Asher (at Minnesota). And as mentioned above, Sugata Ray is wonderful. I hope this helps, although nothing substitutes your own research and interests- these are mere suggestions. All the best!! :D
