Download or read book Alamkara written by Ramesh Chandra Sharma and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alamkara is a Sanskrit word for ornamentation or decoration. This book examines ornamentation in the context of Indian objects made for use in domestic, courtly, and religious settings. Three essays and a catalogue section develop this notion. From the exhibition: The first ever blockbuster exhibition of Indian antiquities was the result of a memorandum of understanding on culture between the governments of Singapore and India. This exhibition was setup with 330 loan artefacts from the National Museum, New Delhi at the former National Museum building (now Singapore History Museum on Stamford Road). It saw 120,000 visitors entering the portals of the museum within a record time. The exhibition was accompanied by attractive crafts, food and performances which saw community participation and support. The exhibition was thematically arranged, covering 5000 years of Indian art woven around a recurrent theme of decoration, Alamkara. The first section introduced the civilisation from Indus-Sarasvati cultures through sculptural development to fully developed temple forms with sculptures displayed in their design context. The idea of ornament was developed further to explain its aesthetic and artistic meaning and ramifications in various media. A whole section on ornamentation showcased jewellery, textiles and costumes for men, women and children along with contextual paintings to elaborate their historicity. The artefacts were further divided into more lifestyle-based themes such as from pot to plate, adorning the self, the pursuit of pleasure, the heroic ideal, kings, courtiers and craftsmen, mortal women celestial lovers and streams of devotion. These sections elaborated using a collection of artefacts based on their function and usage, the ideas of food, adornment, games and leisure activities, lovers and the world of women and religions practiced on the Indian subcontinent. The star piece of the religion section was a relic of Buddha, excavated from a site called Piprawah. These relics were honorably displayed on a platform which visitors could circumambulate. A large pillared hall evoking the Ellora buddhist caves from 7th-9th century in western India was the model for the religion gallery display. A large court interior was also evoked using tent panels, quilts, cushions and umbrellas with decorative huqqas and silverware.
Book Synopsis Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent by : Christopher Tadgell
Download or read book Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent written by Christopher Tadgell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 1143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dedicated to the tracing of continuity across sectarian divides, Christopher Tadgell’s History of Architecture in India (1989) was the first modern monograph to draw together in one volume all the strands of India’s pre-colonial architectural history – from the Vedic and Native traditions of early India, through Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and secular architecture. This comprehensive revision, Architecture in the Indian Subcontinent: From the Mauryas to the Mughals, expands the structure to acknowledge the great advance in scholarship across this extremely complex subject over the last three decades. An understanding of Indian history and religion is the basis for understanding the complex pattern of relationships in the evolution of architecture in the subcontinent. Therefore, background material covers major invasions, migrations, dynastic conflicts and cultural and commercial connections, the main religious developments and their significance and repercussions, and external architectural precedents. While avoiding the usual division of the subject into ‘Buddhist and Hindu’ and ‘Islamic’ parts in order to trace continuity, the importance of religion, symbolism and myth to the development of characteristic Indian architectural forms in all their richness and complexity is fully explained in this fully illustrated account of the subcontinent’s architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Is Directed Towards Inquiring Into The Definition Of The Scope Of Secularism In A Holistic Way, In So Far As It Could Apply To Ancient Indian Creative Art, Often Labelled As Religious Art. It Is, However, Seen That This Art Often Shows In Its Composition, Partly Or Wholly, A Deliberate Unrelatedness To Its Immediate Locus, And Conveys The Mind Of The Artist, His Absorption Of The Aesthetic And Literary, Traditional, Mystic And The Rasa-Charged Pulsating Life-Stream Legacy, And Display Of Macro-Cosmic Temper, Supra-Regional Commonality And Norm-Building Penchant, In His Eventual Creations. Religion Can Produce Profound Thought, But Not Art Which, Through The Medium Of Religion, Shows Insight And The Impacts Of Secular Experience. Examining By A Sampling The Entire Range Of Art, Sectorally And Chronologically, To Detect The Secular Manifestations Embedded In The Art Presentations, The Author Finds That There Is An Integrated Secularism In The Art Of India S Past, Invoked By The Artists Who Had Been Groomed In Its Culture And Who Had Developed A Macro-Perception, By The Totality Of The Impacts Of The Dharmasastras, Arthasastras, Kamasastras, And Natyasastras, Along With The Hieratic Works And The Fertility Cults And Mystic Deity-Devotee Links, Analogous To Mundane Romantic Attachment, And The Ancient Artist Who Owned All This As A Private Legacy, Had Evolved His Own Techniques For Formal Creations Of Them In Art. Illustrated With Sixty-Four Plates And Line Drawings, Besides Notes On Plates And Appendices, The Eight Chapters Of The Book Dissect The Processes Behind Art Creations, To Reveal Humanism And Secularism.
