Book excerpt: Western Himalayas have been a fascinating world of natureç— ́ grandeur, artistic heritage and cultural delights for common visitors, nevertheless, paradise for adventure lovers and immense resource for researchers.

Book Synopsis Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains by : Nachiket Chanchani
Download or read book Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains written by Nachiket Chanchani and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From approximately the third century BCE through the thirteenth century CE, the remote mountainous landscape around the glacial sources of the Ganga (Ganges) River in the Central Himalayas in northern India was transformed into a region encoded with deep meaning, one approached by millions of Hindus as a primary locus of pilgrimage. Nachiket Chanchani’s innovative study explores scores of stone edifices and steles that were erected in this landscape. Through their forms, locations, interactions with the natural environment, and sociopolitical context, these lithic ensembles evoked legendary worlds, embedded historical memories in the topography, changed the mountain range’s appearance, and shifted its semiotic effect. Mountain Temples and Temple Mountains also alters our understanding of the transmission of architectural knowledge and provides new evidence of how an enduring idea of India emerged in the subcontinent.
