Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Imagining Architects explores the nature of visual inventions in the religious architecture of India using an analytical framework that gives makers of religious monuments a visibility commonly denied to them in the historiography of Indian art and architecture. The exploration is based on a series of unusual formal experiments documented in a group of stone temples built in the eleventh century in the Karnataka region of southern India. The author shows (in these experiments) a deliberate search for a new architectural principle, using textual evidence and inscriptions referring to architects. The author also demonstrates a self-conscious modernity of Karnataka's makers, who negotiated architectural traditions and religious ideas to radically change a previous architectural norm dominating the region."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Epic Narratives in the Hoysa a Temples written by Evans and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a detailed exposition of the visual retellings from the Rāmāyaṇa, Mahābhārata and Bhāgavata Purāṇa on specific South Indian Hoysaḷa temples. The first part of the book deals with the Amṛteśvara temple, particularly its narrative panels depicting the Rāmāyaṇa, Mahābhārata and Bhāgavata Purāṇa. The text is a résumé of episodes paired with photographs which illustrate and review the visual retellings and explore Indian techniques of visual narrative. Corollary material from other Hoysaḷa temples with narrative reliefs, including new sites, is presented in the second part. There are very few published contextual studies of Indian narrative sculptures, and so the book is a contribution to the documentation of Indian medieval art, examining visual narratives within the context of the Hindu temple. The book is illustrated with 150 photographs.

Download or read book Sectarianism in Medieval India written by Naseem A. Banerji and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-04-25 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research for this book was motivated by speculations about the religious movements that may have influenced the plans and arrangements of temples built by the Hoysaḷas of Karnataka in the period between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It investigates the causes for the accelerated pace of these constructions; enquires about what served as catalysts for the incorporation of multiple shrines within structures; examines the factors that gave momentum to the sanctification of a variety of deities within them; and studies the characteristics of their style as it was manifested in the temples they commissioned. Thought the finest of these are in the Imperial Hoysaḷa Style (in either the Haḷebīḍ or Koravañgala types), all of the architectural output does not necessarily fall into these categories, some displaying a plurality of characteristics from earlier regional idioms. However, the differences between the two are revealing as they serve to highlight the really ground breaking innovations introduced by the Hoysaḷas.

Download or read book The Temple of Mukt vara at Cau ad napura written by Vasundhara Filliozat and published by Abhinav Publications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Northern Part Of Karnataka Is One Of The Richest Areas Of India In Monuments Of Great Artistic Value. It Was Subjected To The Rule Of Several Royal Families, Calukyas Of Kalyana, Kalacuris And Seunas In The 10Th, 11Th, 12Th And 13Th Centuries A.D. Which Has Been A Period Of Great Cultural Refinement. It Was The Time Of The Greatest Expansion Of The Kalamukha-Lakulasaiva Movements, And Of The Rise Of Virasaivism. The Temple Of Muktesvara At Caudadanapura (Dharwar District) Is A Beautiful Representative Of The Style And The High Culture Of That Time. Its History Is Known To Us Thanks To A Set Of Seven Long Inscriptions, Composed In Literary Medieval Kannada, Engraved With Great Care On Large Steles. They Provide Informations On The Local Rulers, Kings Of Guttala Who Claimed A Gupta Ascendancy, On Some Constructions In The Temple Complex, On Diverse Donations To The Deity, And Very Interesting Details On A Few Prominent Religious Leaders. It Introduces To Us Muktajiyar, A Lakulasaiva Saint, And Sivadeva, A Virasaiva Saint, Who Entered The Place On The 19 Th Of August 1225 And Led There A Long Life Of Renunciation, Asceticism And Spiritual Elevation. The Legacy Of This Age Of Intense Saivite Faith Is A Jewel Of Architecture And Sculpture. It Is A Single Cella Temple In What Is Popularly Known As Jakkanacari Style, Sometimes Called Kalyana-Calukyan Style, Which Is Not Appropriate, As Many Temples Of The Same Style Have Also Been Built Under The Patronage Of Kalacuri Or Seuna Dynasties. The Present Study Contains A Historical Introduction, The Complete Edition, Translation And Interpretation Of The Inscriptions, An Architectural Description, With A Graphic Survey, And An Iconographical Analysis.

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.

Download or read book Indian Epigraphy written by Richard Salomon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a general survey of all the inscriptional material in the Sanskrit, Prakrit, and modern Indo-Aryan languages, including donative, dedicatory, panegyric, ritual, and literary texts carved on stone, metal, and other materials. This material comprises many thousands of documents dating from a range of more than two millennia, found in India and the neighboring nations of South Asia, as well as in many parts of Southeast, central, and East Asia. The inscriptions are written, for the most part, in the Brahmi and Kharosthi scripts and their many varieties and derivatives. Inscriptional materials are of particular importance for the study of the Indian world, constituting the most detailed and accurate historical and chronological data for nearly all aspects of traditional Indian culture in ancient and medieval times. Richard Salomon surveys the entire corpus of Indo-Aryan inscriptions in terms of their contents, languages, scripts, and historical and cultural significance. He presents this material in such a way as to make it useful not only to Indologists but also non-specialists, including persons working in other aspects of Indian or South Asian studies, as well as scholars of epigraphy and ancient history and culture in other regions of the world.
