Book Synopsis The Ellora Monoliths by : K. V. Soundara Rajan
Download or read book The Ellora Monoliths written by K. V. Soundara Rajan and published by Gyan Books. This book was released on 1988 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to lift into focus the monolithic legacy of the Rashtrakutas at Ellora, from out of the reason that these monoliths perhaps are best suited to understand and reconstruct the artistic, architectural, traditional, religious and cult interactions and growth-spectra that had taken place in the period from the 8th to the 10th century A.D., very much more eloquently than the study of the cave temple types. Without the stabilizing role of these monoliths, in the over view of the status of temple art, in that period which the Rashtrakutas adorned by their vigorous patronage, eclecticism and multi-pronged political thrusts all over India in their heyday, the cave-art syndrome would tend to cloy even under the best circumstances, as something repetitive, potteries and commandeered which surely it was not. The book deals with the five monoliths at Ellora, in their own historical architectural, iconographic-religious perspectives, and elucidates how they were greatly diversified and pregnant with rich potential for the reconstruction of the are situation; and it compares them also with their compeer monoliths elsewhere in South India, in the same ilk, as in the Pallava and Pandya zones of the past. The chief aim of the book is to give a satisfactory formal picture of these monoliths and to vest them with the credit of being land-marks in the arche-types they sought to represent. Profusely illustrated and with a helpful set of charts and glossary, it is designed to cover a felt need in art studies at Ellora.

Book Synopsis Temple Imagery from Early Mediaeval Peninsular India by : Archana Verma
Download or read book Temple Imagery from Early Mediaeval Peninsular India written by Archana Verma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the ways in which ideas of heroic discourse and the socio-religious and political needs of the period moulded iconography, this book explores the evolution of the iconography of the early mediaeval Hindu temples of the Indian peninsula, over the course of the sixth-twelfth centuries C.E. In order to study the socio-religious and political atmosphere in which the early mediaeval temple iconography grew and developed its specific forms, the author makes use of the inscriptions, archaeological and the literary materials ranging from the fourth centuries B.C.E. to the thirteenth century C.E., as these give an idea of the continuities and discontinuities in the ideas of heroic and political discourses which lie at the back of the visual art forms that they created. Of particular interest are the royal charters, issued in Sanskrit and Tamil, the religious narratives from the Sanskrit epics and the Puranas, iconographic canons that form a part of the religious texts known as the Agamas, written in Sanskrit, the court literature of the early mediaeval period and the early historical Sangam Tamil literature, apart from the archaeological material from the Indian peninsula. The author focuses particularly on exploring the ideas of power current in the society that created the narrative iconography of the period and the region studied.

Book Synopsis World Heritage Monuments and Related Edifices in India by : ʻAlī Jāvīd
Download or read book World Heritage Monuments and Related Edifices in India written by ʻAlī Jāvīd and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of India's stunning temples are catalogued and copiously illustrated in this two-volume work loaded with color photographs. A brief introduction to the principal religious groups who have made their home in this dynamic region leads into a description of the developmental stages of various architectural components and artistic styles in the different regions over the past 1500 years, from pre-historic cave art and ancient temples hewn out of solid bedrock to more recent European-style Christian churches such as those in Goa. India's religions and historical turning points are briefly discussed, enabling readers who may be less familiar with Indian cultures to recognize the value of the region's cultural heritage. The author details the technological and artistic progress of Indian temple construction in the context of cultural and religious shifts throughout history. The four indigenous religions of India, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, as well as Christianity, are each appreciated on their own merits. The Taj Mahal, the most famous, was declared a World Heritage Monument in 1983. It has been described lyrically as a tear drop on the cheek of time, poetry in marble, a dream in marble, and an image of paradise; and in such superlatives as 'the greatest achievement of all Indo-Islamic architecture, the most beautiful of all monuments made by the hands of man.' But the UNESCO World Heritage Center has also singled out a wealth of monuments that preceded and followed its construction, denoting them as important elements of the heritage of human civilization. In this work, researched through personal visits to World Heritage sites in India and the monuments associated with them, the author shares his enjoyment of the depiction of human beauty in decorative sculpture and architecture and the narration of mythology therein. This is one work bound in two volumes.

Book excerpt: Sikkim has a population of 3,16,355 people (1981 census) and an area of 4276 Sq. Kms. Despite its small area, much ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity is exhibited. Very few studies on the diverse tribal culture were undertaken in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. No anthropological studies have been undertaken on Sikkim since its integration with India. This work prepared under Man and Biosphere Programme of UNESCO is a significant contribution to the knowledge of this little known part of the mountain world. In the present book, Dr. Veena Bhasin, who carried out field work during 1981 to 1983 in North Sikkim records the complex patterns of the two diverse culture of the Lepchas and the Bhutias of North Sikkim. A micro approache has been used to explore indepth, the myriad aspects of life at Dzongu reserve habited by Pepaches and Lachen and Lachung valleys habited by Bhutias.

Book excerpt: Vol. I Visnu It was supported by a contingency grant of the ICHR. It contains the results in the literature and field. Monuments of early medieval period all over South India was visited and the literature in Tamil and Sanskrit consulted. Being the first in a series of four volumes, it has a chapter on religion and political background. The results of the monuments surveyed in the field are presented in the third chapter under the sub-heads ‘Upper Deccan’, ‘Lower Deccan’ and ‘Far South’. However, the most important part is the investigation of Tamil sources that is a much-neglected aspect in Indian art historical research. In the present volume, the Tamil quota of thought embodied in the Nalayiram is examined. xxxv+341 p., 13 col. & 149 b/w photos, figs. & maps, Glossary, Bibliography, Index; ISBN:81-88934-34-8 Vol. II Siva This is result of the project, supported by the UGC. The field was visited few more times from Elephanta in the west to Vilinam in the Far South. The volume in design is slightly modified. The first chapter presents an examination of the sources in Tamil literature, especially the hymns of the bhakti savants, the Nayanmar, particularly the Tevaram. There are not less than 8000 hymns under vast corpus, the examination of which has inspired western scholars to pay attention to the Tamil sources in the investigation of an Indian iconographic theme. The II-IV chapters examine the Saiva iconographical themes, as they are present in the Upper Deccan, Lower Deccan and Far South. The other chapters attempt an analytical study of the distribution pattern of the iconographical themes and their aesthetic value. xix+319 p., 12 col. & 165 b/w photos, figs., Glossary, Bibliography, Index; ISBN: 81-88934-35-6 Vol. III Sakti Goddesses This volume is on Sakti Goddesses. The first chapter presents an account of sources in both Tamil and Sanskrit. The Tamil sources examined are those of the Cankam classics and the pre-Pallava Cilappatikaram and Manimekalai. In addition to the Devimahatmyam, some liturgical works (e.g. Lalitasahasranama) and the Mattavilasaprahasana are examined. Chapters II-IV present an account of the iconographical typologies of Devi in Upper Deccan, Lower Deccan and Far South. The distribution pattern and aesthetics of the forms of Devi as they appear in early medieval art are discussed in the other chapters. As in the other volumes, a simple quantitative method is applied to assess the status of Devi within the Hindu pantheon during the period under study. xiii+173 p.,14 col. & 108 b/w photos, figs., Glossary, Bibliography, Index; ISBN : 81-88934-36-4 Vol. IV: Part I Ganapati and Skanda-Murukan; Part II Brahma and other Deities This volume is in two parts. The first part deals with Ganapati and Skanda-Murukan. The second part deals with Brahma and other Deities. The volume is designed in four chapters, the first dealing with sources and the others with iconographical forms found in the Upper Deccan, Lower Deccan and Far South. The chapter bearing on sources discusses the data forthcoming from Tamil and Sanskrit. In an overall perspective, the present series is an important contribution because it has a special bearing Tamil sources dealing with the major and minor deities of the Hindu pantheon. Few American-Indian and British scholars have examined the Tamil sources in an entirely different context. xii+270 p., 17 col. & 62 b/w photos, figs., Glossary, Bibliography, Index; ISBN : 81-88934-37-2
