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 Imagining Architects written by Ajay J. Sinha and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. 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 Karnataka s Rich Heritage Temple Sculptures Dancing Apsaras written by Lalit Chugh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nataraja, the dancing Siva sculpture, is perhaps the most well-known among all Hindu sculptures, and rightly so. It has evoked highly advanced discussions among scientists, philosophers, performing artists, art critics, art collectors, historians, archaeologists and mythologists. The Nataraja sculpture also occupies a pride of a place at CERN, the European Centre for Research in Particle Physics in Geneva. Siva, according to Hindu Mythology, was the very first dancer in the world. All dramaturgy and dance traditions emerge from Siva’s cosmic dance. Tandu, Siva’s disciple narrated the description of Siva’s dance to Bharata Muni and he is believed to have compiled the Natyasastra, the world’s first treatise on dramaturgy, dance and other performing arts. Scholars believe that the Natyasastra was written over a long period of time between the 2nd century BCE and 2nd century CE with contributions from various sages, with its foundation having been laid by Bharata Muni. Convergence between Hindu mythology, Natyasastra and Silpasastra was the natural outcome. Karnataka, and its temple architecture tradition, played a pioneering role in giving an artistic form to this convergence in its temple sculptures. Though this trend may have started earlier during 2nd and 3rd century CE, it started to take the center stage from the times of the Badami Chalukyas. Passing through various refinements between 5th and 10th centuries, it reached its peak with the Hoysala art. This book traces the history of temple sculpture evolution and development through the centuries by referring to the existing sculptural forms and the canonical literature that developed over time.
