Download or read book Indian Temple Architecture written by Ananya Gandotra and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book excerpt: This unique book presents a broad multi-disciplinary examination of early temple architecture in Asia, written by two experts in digital reconstruction and the history and theory of Asian architecture. The authors examine the archetypes of Early Brahmanic, Hindu and Buddhist temple architecture from their origins in north western India to their subsequent spread and adaptation eastwards into Southeast Asia. While the epic monuments of Asia are well known, much less is known about the connections between their building traditions, especially the common themes and mutual influences in the early architecture of Java, Cambodia and Champa. While others have made significant historiographic connections between these temple building traditions, this book unravels, for the first time, the specifically compositional and architectural linkages along the trading routes of South and Southeast Asia. Through digital reconstruction and recovery of three dimensional temple forms, the authors have developed a digital dataset of early Indian antecedents, tested new technologies for the acquisition of built heritage and developed new methods for comparative analysis of built form geometry. Overall the book presents a novel approach to the study of heritage and representation within the framework of emerging digital techniques and methods.

Book excerpt: This two-volume work explains in detail the religious and spiritual significance of the temple by means of copious references to Sanskrit texts--both sacred and scientific. It depicts the Hindu Temple as not merely a heap of brick, stone or wood but a visible symbol of aspirations of pious men and women, the throbbings of their hearts in religious fervor and their endeavor for the attainment of salvation. The first four parts of the work are devoted to the philosophy of temple architecture. Part V deals with the origin and development of the temple from the Vedic fire altars to the latest forms. Part VI discusses the pyramidal and curvilinear superstructures in the main varieties of the Sikhara, the Sikhara enmeshed in Gavaksas and the composite Sikhara. Part VII describes the proportional measurements and the rhythmic disposition of the garbha-grha and the vertical section. It discusses the proportions of the Mandapa and the types of temples described in ancient Sanskrit texts like the Brhatsamhita and the Samaranganasutradhara. This most comprehensive and authoritative treatise of ancient Indian Temple Architecture will prove of immense help to the students of ancient Indian culture.
