The study locates and identifies more than fortytemples of the period up to 1500 CE, and goes on to documentand analyse them in order to develop an understanding of a regionaltype of nagara temple. The study identified the presence ofall three modes called latina, phamsana and valabhi of the northIndian nagara tradition of temple architecture.Another significant feature of the study is the analysis of there-use of earlier Hindu-Buddhist architectural fragments in laterIslamic structures in order to develop an understanding of theearlier architecture and to show how the re-use of such fragmentsinfluenced the architecture of the Sultanate period in a major way,forming the basis of an architectural vocabulary.In the concluding part, the origin and development of the Mughalperiod temples characterized by the chala, bangla and ratna typesis explained, while emphasizing the continuities and elements ofdisruptions that had taken place since the beginning of the ninthcentury.The foreword of the book is written by Dr. George Michell whohave earlier edited two best known books on the architecture ofthe region: Brick Temples of Bengal (From the Archives of DavidMcCutchion) PUP, Princeton, New Jersey, 1983 and IslamicHeritage of Bengal UNESCO publications, Paris, 1984.

Download or read book World Heritage Monuments and Related Edifices in India written by ʻAlī Jāvīd and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of India's stunning temples are catalogued and copiously illustrated in this two-volume work loaded with color photographs. A brief introduction to the principal religious groups who have made their home in this dynamic region leads into a description of the developmental stages of various architectural components and artistic styles in the different regions over the past 1500 years, from pre-historic cave art and ancient temples hewn out of solid bedrock to more recent European-style Christian churches such as those in Goa. India's religions and historical turning points are briefly discussed, enabling readers who may be less familiar with Indian cultures to recognize the value of the region's cultural heritage. The author details the technological and artistic progress of Indian temple construction in the context of cultural and religious shifts throughout history. The four indigenous religions of India, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, as well as Christianity, are each appreciated on their own merits. The Taj Mahal, the most famous, was declared a World Heritage Monument in 1983. It has been described lyrically as a tear drop on the cheek of time, poetry in marble, a dream in marble, and an image of paradise; and in such superlatives as 'the greatest achievement of all Indo-Islamic architecture, the most beautiful of all monuments made by the hands of man.' But the UNESCO World Heritage Center has also singled out a wealth of monuments that preceded and followed its construction, denoting them as important elements of the heritage of human civilization. In this work, researched through personal visits to World Heritage sites in India and the monuments associated with them, the author shares his enjoyment of the depiction of human beauty in decorative sculpture and architecture and the narration of mythology therein. This is one work bound in two volumes.

Book excerpt: History, it is said, cannot be studied without reflecting on the practice of historians who narrate it. The articles in this volume introduce readers to the writings of four scholars who study the subject of temple desecration in interesting and different ways. They focus on the ways in which historians study the political culture, events, historical narratives, material remains and aesthetic norms of a time very distant from us. Through their focus on the theme of temple desecration, a subject of considerable import in political rhetoric today, these essays also underline how easily history can be subverted to serve narrow, cynical ends. At a time when history has become so important in the making of the nation s identity, the articles in this book invite the readers to pause and reflect on the craft of history, the exciting and engaging conclusions to which it can lead and the worrying ends to which it can also be nudged.
Download or read book Shiva s Waterfront Temples written by Subhashini Kaligotla and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely illustrated volume explores the medieval Deccani temple complexes at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pattadakal, with careful attention to their makers. The vibrant red sandstone temples of India's Deccan Plateau, such as the Pattadakal temple cluster, have attracted visitors since the eighth century or earlier. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the coronation place of the Chalukya dynasty, Pattadakal and its neighboring sites are of major historical importance. In Shiva's Waterfront Temples, Subhashini Kaligotla situates these buildings in the cosmopolitan milieu of Deccan India and considers how their makers and awestruck visitors would have seen them in their day. Kaligotla reconstructs how architects and builders approached the sites, including their use of ornamentation, responsiveness to courtly values such as pleasure and play, and ingenious juxtaposition of the first millennium's Nagara and Dravida aesthetics, a blend largely unique to Deccan plateau architecture. With over 130 color illustrations, this original book elucidates the Deccan's special place in the lexicon of medieval South Asian architecture.
