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.

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.

Book Synopsis Indian Temple Architecture by : Ananya Gandotra
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.

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.
Book Synopsis Temple Management in the Āgama-S: With Special Reference To Kāmikāgama by : Deepa Duraiswamy
Download or read book Temple Management in the Āgama-S: With Special Reference To Kāmikāgama written by Deepa Duraiswamy and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For at least 1500 years, temple design, construction and worship have followed the canon of the āgama-s. Shouldn't temple management also follow the āgama-s? Steeped in a history of more than two millennia, the real bequest of India's ancient temples is that they are still living sacred spaces. The gods that were invoked in these temples more than a thousand years ago, continue to reside in the sanctums and gaze benevolently upon their devotees. The bells ring for morning service as they did a thousand years ago. The ācārya waves the ārati just as another ācārya did a thousand years ago. No other organization in the world can boast of such amazing continuity. The secret to this longevity lies in the āgama-s. Āgama-s are the traditional canon believed to be as old as the Vedas, with detailed manuals on temple-building, consecration and ritual worship. While the world outside the temples - a world of kings and kingdoms - has changed, temples continue to follow the āgama-s in letter and spirit in their everyday religious function, notwithstanding the many changes in administrative formats. By studying the activities of the temple, material and manpower required, qualifications and roles prescribed for the temple professionals, this thesis attempts to reconstruct an āgamic temple management framework, using the Kāmikāgama as primary text with other āgama-s, secondary literature and inscriptional evidence as required.

This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, , language: English, abstract: In Jammu region śikhara temples both of ancient and recent origin are very common. These vary in regard to as they possess only the sanctuary or more parts of a typical śikhara temple. Some of the temple consist of a single cella in which the idol is housed and have an enter room or maṇdapa. The ancient temples, however, are entered through an ornamented porch usually supported by two pillars. The early medieval temples in Jammu region are two types. Firstly, ṭṛiratha embellished by a variety of carvings and architectural designs as in the case of temples at Krimachi and most probably the Devi shrine at Babour. The second type to be seen in all other temples at Babour, which are not ṭṛiratha in construction but are equally decorated with carved embellishments and architectural design. The temple of recent origin do not possess such outer formalities except that they have large curvilinear śikharas with a small melon-type amalaka or simply a bhumi in some cases on the highest narrow point to serve as base for a metallic kalaśa, set of three ghātās diminishing upwards, topped by a lotus bud pointed upwards. The lower portion or janghā is invariably a rectangular construction, all constructed out of bricks, leaving no scope for carved embellishment, but only for architectural designs, embellishing niches, projections like eves, bandhanas, ardha- śikharas and the like.
