Book excerpt: About The Author The Author is an Architect by profession with a PhD in Architecture: "œGeometrical Analysis of North Indian Temple Architecture" from Cardiff University, U.K. She has received her Master's degree in Industrial Design from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. She was awarded Gold medal Architecture, University of Mangalore in 1993 from MIT, Manipal. Dr. Ananya Gandotra has travelled extensively throughout Madhya Pradesh, during and after the research work of this book. This book is to be followed by her next documentation and analytical endeavor titled "Theories in Indian Temple Architecture". Although the focus would be temples in India, harmonic progression of the Rekha Sutra, ceiling geometry, structural systems, evolution of space and the patterns evolving out of its devotional function would be rendered across regions. While 'œIndian Temple Architecture - Analysis of Plans, Elevations and Roof Forms' originates the theory of 'SquareCircle-Square' (SCS), the theories of the SCS would be further established with detailed examples, including those transcending borders viz, - Temple of Heaven, Beijing, China. Presently she is the Head, Technical Services Group - Corporate Projects, The Indian Hotels Company Limited. Dr. Gandotra lives in India with her husband and two children. About The Book The book unravels with effective use of computer technology the uniformity, great proportions and geometry that the Hindu Temple Architecture is based upon. The book also challenges and readdresses the predominant theories of temple architecture like the Vastu Purush Mandala and the Sri Yantra. It sets forth the theory that there is an evident micro level integration of dimensions and proportions which all originate from the idol, set in the womb of the structure: the Garbhagriha. The book unfolds the relationship between the 'square' and the 'circle'™ in a sequence which, with the help of the stellate square form with its intersecting points, the marmas, resonates throughout the temple'™s space and form in conjunction with its subsidiary shrines. It also establishes with the help of SCS, a strong relationship between the prasada and the mandapa. The potent intersection of the two SCS sets the canvass for erotic iconography as evident in temples of Khajuraho. This three volume books set establishes the interdependency of the temple's elevation and its roof form to the plan and its dimensions, setting forth the need for the scholarship to address the temple structure as a whole. With the use of examples from different time and space, the book establishes that the temples underlining design principles remain the same, smallest denominator being the unit dimension of the idol, Shiva lingam or the idol pedestal. Therefore, the later date typologies were of no relevance to the sthapatis of these manifestations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * A visually stunning exploration of the Deccan Indian architectural history* A matching companion book to Islamic Architecture of Deccan India (ACC Art Books, 2018)* Blueprint-style plans of temples accompany 300+ photographs* Contains maps guiding would-be travelers to these temple sitesThis beautifully illustrated book showcases the Hindu and Jain temples of Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka built prior to the invasion of peninsular India by the Delhi sultans at the end of the 13th century. Unlike temples in many other parts of India, those of the Deccan are well preserved, with their wealth of figural and decorative carvings miraculously intact. They demonstrate the development of Indian sacred architecture and art over a span of more than 600 years. Focusing on some 50 historical sites, the Temple Architecture of Deccan India begins with artificially excavated "cave" shrines dedicated to various Hindu deities, before proceeding on to examine free-standing Hindu and Jain monuments sponsored by successive rulers of the Deccan. Attention is paid to the beautiful sculptures found on temple basements, walls, brackets and ceilings. Carved in crisp relief, and sometimes even in three dimensions, these carvings are among the greatest glories of Indian stone art. Among the featured highlights are the cave temple on the island of Elephanta, with its stupendous representation of three-headed Sadashiva; the colossal, monolithic Kailasa temple at Ellora, a technical feat unsurpassed in the entire history of Indian architecture; the magnificent columned pavilion at Hanamkonda, now currently being reconstructed; and the temple at Belur, with its exquisitely carved female figural brackets. Specially commissioned plans of temple layouts accompany 300+ photographs. and clarify the succession of dynasties that governed the Deccan during the centuries covered here. Maps locate the temple sites, while passages of text illuminate the succession of dynasties that governed the Deccan from the 7th to 13th centuries. Educational, accessible and beautifully illustrated, this book will be of interest to anyone fascinated by Indian architecture.
