  • Shiva's Waterfront Temples
    Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Subhashini Kaligotla All rights reserved ABSTRACT Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla This dissertation examines Deccan India’s earliest surviving stone constructions, which were founded during the 6th through the 8th centuries and are known for their unparalleled formal eclecticism. Whereas past scholarship explains their heterogeneous formal character as an organic outcome of the Deccan’s “borderland” location between north India and south India, my study challenges the very conceptualization of the Deccan temple within a binary taxonomy that recognizes only northern and southern temple types. Rejecting the passivity implied by the borderland metaphor, I emphasize the role of human agents—particularly architects and makers—in establishing a dialectic between the north Indian and the south Indian architectural systems in the Deccan’s built worlds and built spaces. Secondly, by adopting the Deccan temple cluster as an analytical category in its own right, the present work contributes to the still developing field of landscape studies of the premodern Deccan. I read traditional art-historical evidence—the built environment, sculpture, and stone and copperplate inscriptions—alongside discursive treatments of landscape cultures and phenomenological and experiential perspectives. As a result, I am able to present hitherto unexamined aspects of the cluster’s spatial arrangement: the interrelationships between structures and the ways those relationships influence ritual and processional movements, as well as the symbolic, locative, and organizing role played by water bodies.

It is bounded by iJihar and Orissa on the east, Khandesh and a part of Central India on the west. Central India, on the north and the GodSvari and the PaingangS on the south. Originally the region was not called Madhyapradesh. It is a cluster of different states and was never ruled by one king. Kodern Madhyapradesh was shaped after the advent of the British regime. Today a considerable portion of the country, lying between the laardhff, T5pi and the PaingaAgS is called Vidarbha. ”The Madhyapradesh excluding the districts of Sagar and Jabalpur that is below the NarmadS was included in * Dakshinfipatha^. * Dakshii^Spatha* covered the coun> tries between the NariRadS and the K^fnS. This term was thus applied in the centuries preceding and infflediately following the Christian era." The Aitareya Brfifunaijia describes Bhima, the king of Vidarbha. The region is mentioned in the Jalminlya 3 4 Upanisad BrShmana. The Brhadlranvaka Upanlsad mentions. ^ Kane, P .V ., JASB XXIV, 621. 2 V II.34. 5 11.440. ^ Vedic Index. 11.297. a sage named Vldarbhl Kaundinya. This name is appa­ rently derived from the city of Kundina, the capital of Vidarbha. The Praanopanli^d ^ refers to a sage of Vidarbha named fihSrgava as a contemporary of A^valSyana. The Nasik cave inscription of VSsi^^hiputra Pulumfivi mentions Vidarbha. This is perhaps the earliest epi- graphical reference to Vidarbha. 6 The KahlbhSrata describes it, as an ancient and renowned kingdom in the Deccan with Kun^ina on the banks of the Varadfi as its capital.

This volume contains the history of the early RSshtrakutas (Rathotfas) and their well-known branch, the Gahatfavalas of Kanauj up to the third-quarter of the 13th century of Vikrama era, that is, up to the migration of Rao Slha towards Marwar. In the absence of any written account of the rulers of this dynasty, the history is based on its copper plates, inscriptions and coins hitherto discovered. Sanskrit, Arabic and English 1 works, which throw some light on the history of this dynasty, however meagre, have also been referred to. Though the material thus gathered is not much, yet what is known is sufficient to prove that some of the kings of this dynasty were most powerful rulers of their time. Further, some of them, besides being the patrons of art and literature, were themselves good scholars.

  • Historical Perspectives of Memorial Stones in Karnataka – an Analysis *Dr.Thippeswamy.H
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 Historical Perspectives of Memorial Stones in Karnataka – An Analysis *Dr.Thippeswamy.H. Associate Professor of History, Dept of History and Archaeology, Vijayanagara Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Ballari. Abstract This paper attempts to study memorial stones with Historical perspectives that were erected in Karnataka to immortalise those who selflessly pledged their life for the protection of women, village men and property. Best of inscriptions found in Karnataka are Memorial Stones. They are very unique to Karnataka and the varieties in them are stupendous. And are found nowhere else in whole of Karnataka with such abundance. Some of them are also found outside the state, in territories which were part of dynasties of Karnataka. Here are some of the very unique and best memorial stones found in the state. Memorial inscriptions, engraved on memorials to the dead, are a major category of epigraphs in India. These memorials can be broadly categorised as hero stones, sati stones and memorials to those who died observing a religious vow. Principally in the third category, we have Jain memorials, nishidhis, to their monks and nuns as well as laity who died observing the vow of sallekhanaor sanyasana, which means a graduated fasting unto death. The practice of setting up hero stones to commemorate warriors who had died in battle is one that was probably connected to the funerary practices of the Megalithic period. Megalithic burials in earthenware jars or marked by menhirs, stone circles, dolmens, etc., are to be found in a large area of the peninsula and can be dated to the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Ancient Tamil region was denoted by the term Tamilakam or Tamilaham which can be identified with present-day Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and southern parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Dominant Tamil kingdoms of the region were Cholas, Cheras and Pandyas during the Sangam age which roughly spans from 300 BCE to 300 CE.

Introduction The political unity of Northern India achieved under Harsha was broken after his death. Thereafter, a number of lineages vied for control over Kanauj. Taking advantage of this political confusion, the Rajputs established their kingdoms on the ruins of Harsha’s empire. They became so prominent that the period (647-1192 CE) from the death of Harsha till the Muslim conquest of Northern India in the 12th century is called the Rajput period of Indian history. Even after that many Rajput states continued to survive for a long time. In the period of Muslim aggression, the Rajputs were the main defenders of Hindu religion and Culture. This is very important period in the history of North India, for it witnessed substantial changes in the political, social, economic and religious sectors. We may divide this age, for the sake of convenience into two phases. The first phase starts from 8th century and terminates at 10th century whereas the second phase starts from the 11th century up to the beginning of 13th century CE. The first phase is dominated by the “Age of the three kingdoms”, i.e.
