Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a fresh approach to the existing literature on religion in Early Assam, bringing together perspectives from the fields of archaeology, religion, history and heritage. For decades, the Naraka legend has been incorporated into history without due critical attention and analysis of the historical context, while archaeological studies in religion have been largely descriptive. The sacred landscape of the erstwhile Prāgjyotiṣa and Kāmarūpa kingdoms had linkages with the history of other parts of India, and beyond. This book offers a comprehensive reconstruction of religion in Early Assam based on an exhaustive use of archaeological sources. It opens with a useful overview of the conceptual and methodological foundations of religion, archaeology and history. Heritage conservation of sacred sites such as Kāmākhyā which face the impact of rapid urbanization illustrates implications for Assam’s history and identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject South Asian Studies, South-Eastern Asian Studies, , language: English, abstract: The graphic art or printmaking was known & flourished during half of the 19th century in Assam. Earlier it was used purely for the commercial purpose. But in the early time this technique was not much discussed by the artist, writer and scholar. After "Orunodoi Era" it got more importance among the art scenario in Assam. Printing is considered as the technique of producing multiple prints by applying ink to the mother block, with multiple prints option the maximum number of editions can be made available to mass at the same time. The origin of the phrase, 'Graphics' has been derived from the 'Greek Graphikos' through the Latin 'Graphicus' and its stand for the writing, drawing and Art. Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, usually on paper. Printmaking normally comes as only the process of creating prints with an element of originality rather than just being a photographic reproduction of the same piece which is called edition of print each piece produced is not a copy but considered as an original edition. It is not a reproduction of work of art and can be technically considered as an 'Impression'. Creating a work by taking impression from the matrix and applying pressure which is prime means of making multiple copies of a work of art or images. Aristotle, use of the word impression to speak of the mental image must have been more preceded by the existence of seals and other geographical signs and practices in ancient Greece. At the same time, unlike other art work impression, art is not a passive reflector of society but active participant in the larger historical process and social information.
Download or read book A Cultural History of Assam of the Early Period 400 A D 1200 A D written by B. K. Barua and published by . This book was released on 1947 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thesis submitted forms a part of a comprehensive work on the Cultural History of Assam, comprising the various aspects of the life of the people. The materials were collected in India as well as during the course of my study in England. The present volume contains an account of Assam from circe 400 A.D. to 1200 A.D., i.e., to the advent of the Ahoms. Assam, known as Kamarupa, figured during this period as a well-lnown Hindu kingdom. But so far no book has been written delineating the multifarious acivities of the country. The present work strives to depict the life of the people of the period with special reference to their economic and social conditions, their religion and religious institutions, and finally, their achievements in the fields of art, literature and architecture. Since the cultural life of a country cannot properly be evaluated without a thorough understanding of the political history, a chapter on political history has also been included. In the treatment of this chapter, an endeavour has been made to bring new facts to notice and to study the known facts from a fresh view point. The work is divided into seven chapters. It opens with a general introduction, and deals with the physical back-ground, including geographical divisions, population and terminology. It includes a sub-section on Early Geography: The Literary Tradition, in which all available references from early texts are collected and discussed. In the light of this information, a map of ancient Assam is reconstructed for the first time. The second chapter is on Political History. The third chapter, on Administration, deals with the theory of kingship and systems of central and local administration. A sub-section is added on Military Organisation. The fourth chapter is on Economic Conditions, in which the nature of village and town, the various aspects of the land-system and tenure, agriculture, crafts and industries, and trade and trade-routes to Magadha, Burma and China are discussed. Chapter Five on Society deals with the various classes of people, their occupations and their different social institutions. It is completed with a survey of the Learning and Literature of the period. The next chapter traces the history and the spread of different religious creeds, such as Saivism, Saktism, Vaisnavism and Buddhism, along with their respective rites and rituals. The closing chapter is devoted to Fine Art, which is divided into three sections, namely, (i) Architecture, (ii) Sculpture and (iii) Iconography. Almost all the available materials relating to the archaeology of Assam of the period are systematised here for the first time. An attempt has also been made to throw light on the principles on which Assamese art is based, as well as upon the sources from which its aims and ideals are derived. Finally it ends with an assessment of Assamese art. The chief sources of information of the author are the contemporary inscriptions, literary works, and accounts of foreign travellers. In respect to the first, the writer may say that he has thoroughly studied the inscriptions relating to Assam history, and has been able to extract even minute bits of information useful for his work. The literary source mainly centres round the Epics, Puranas, the works of Kautilya, Kalidasa, Bana and others. One of the foreign travellers who visited Assam during the period was Hiuen Tsiang. His invaluable account is very critically examined. In addition to these specific sources, the relevant modern publications, books written by eminent authorities, and their contributions in learned journals, have also been read and fully utilised. All sources quoted in the work are indicated in the foot-notes. The Thesis concludes with three appendices and a bibliography.
