It summarizes the turn toward the digital that is reinventing every aspect of the humanities among scholars, libraries, publishers, administrators, and the public. Beginning with some definitions and a brief historical survey of the humanities, the book examines how humanists work, what they Author: Eileen Gardiner and Ronald G. Musto study, and how humanists and their research have been impacted by the digital and how, in turn, they shape it. It Publisher: Cambridge University Press surveys digital humanities tools and their functions, the digital humanists' environments, and the outcomes and Year: 2015 reception of their work. The book pays particular attention to both theoretical underpinnings and practical considerations for embarking on digital humanities projects.

2 Explaining Understanding: New Perspectives from What does it mean to understand something? What types of understanding can be distinguished? Is understanding Epistemology and Philosophy of Science always provided by explanations? And how is it related to knowledge? Such questions have attracted considerable interest in epistemology recently. These discussions, however, have not yet engaged insights about explanations and
theories developed in philosophy of science. Conversely, philosophers of science have debated the nature of Author: Stephen R. Grimm, Christoph Baumberger, explanations and theories, while dismissing understanding as a psychological by-product. Sabine Ammon, Eds. Publisher: Routledge In this book, epistemologists and philosophers of science together address basic questions about the nature of Year: 2017 understanding, providing a new overview of the field. False theories, cognitive bias, transparency, coherency, and other important issues are discussed. Its 15 original chapters are essential reading for researchers and graduate students Call Number: 121 interested in the current debates about understanding.

3 The Impact of Science on Society Many of the revolutionary effects of science and technology are obvious enough. Bertrand Russell saw in the 1950s that there are also many negative aspects of scientific innovation. Insightful and controversial in equal measure, Russell argues that science offers the world greater well-being than it has ever known, on the condition that prosperity is Author: Bertrand Russell dispersed; power is diffused by means of a single, world government; birth rates do not become too high; and war is Publisher: Routledge abolished. Russell acknowledges that is a tall order, but remains essentially optimistic. He imagines mankind in a 'race Year: 2016 between human skill as to means and human folly as to ends', but believes human society will ultimately choose the path of reason.

7 Philosophy and the Precautionary Principle: Science, Scholars in philosophy, law, economics and other fields have widely debated how science, environmental precaution, Evidence, and Environmental Policy and economic interests should be balanced in urgent contemporary problems, such as climate change. One controversial focus of these discussions is the precautionary principle, according to which scientific uncertainty should not be a reason for delay in the face of serious threats to the environment or health. While the precautionary principle has been Author: Daniel Steel very influential, no generally accepted definition of it exists and critics charge that it is incoherent or hopelessly vague. Publisher: Cambridge University Press This book presents and defends an interpretation of the precautionary principle from the perspective of philosophy of Year: 2015 science, looking particularly at how it connects to decisions, scientific procedures, and evidence. Through careful analysis of numerous case studies, it shows how this interpretation leads to important insights on scientific uncertainty, intergenerational justice, and the relationship between values and policy-relevant science.

This is why, Sabine Author: Sabine Hossenfelder Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. Publisher: Basic Books The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been Year: 2018 unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a Call Number: 530.15 cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the HOS truth. 17260 Related URL: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36341728-lost-in-math

11 Women Workers in Urban India This volume examines the role of women workers who are joining the workforce in urban India. Employment opportunities have opened up and are constantly expanding for women, but this book interrogates whether their working status is breaking gender stereotypes or reaffirming them. It argues that whether women are working in offices Author: Saraswati Raju and Santosh Jatrana, Eds. or from home, contributing to the IT sector or labouring as petty producers, they are unable to break out of the gendered Publisher: Cambridge University Press codes that place them at the lower rungs of the occupational ladder. More importantly, the hierarchical social order, Year: 2015 comprising caste, class and ethnic identities, seems to echo in the gendered structure of the labour market as well. This volume studies the intertwining of work with embedded patriarchal notions of women's places in designated spheres, Call Number: 331.40954 and the overt and covert processes of resistance that women offer in defining new roles and old ones anew.

The theme of the conference was „Mediation of sciences: International perspectives, challenges and strategies‟. The fourth Journées Hubert Curien had four main objectives: Author: Patrick Baranger and Bernard Schiele, Eds. First, to remind us that universities and research centres are dynamic places engaged in the mediation of science, Publisher: CNRS Editions contrary to a misconception that sees them as isolated and introspective. Second, to promote and stir up public Year: 2013 involvement. Science is today at the heart of culture: it transforms not only values, but also the organizational patterns of society. It is thus unavoidable that the public, concerned with the issues and debates brought about by the Call Number: 501.4 relationship between science and society, wants an active part in it. BAR Third, to rethink ways of interacting with the public and come up with new ones. The public demands a direct dialogue with researchers because of the ethical, political and economic issues raised by the impact of science on society – issues 17273 whose importance is now on par with the advancement of knowledge. Fourth, to interact in a world where the rules of the game have changed. In the globosphere, everyone is at the same time on an equal footing and in opposition to everyone else. This book brings together the 17 main papers and presentations from the conference.

The first book in this trilogy is Swami and Friends, this book is the second, and The English Teacher is the final book. These are considered to be one continuous story, of the same person as a child, as an adolescent just stepping into Author: R. K. Narayan adulthood, and the same young man in the third book, though the names of the protagonists are different in each novel. Publisher: Indian Thought This story is about young Chandran, who has just graduated. He has also just fallen in love. He sees a young girl, Year: 2007 Malathi, on the beach one day, playing with her younger sister, and is at once smitten by the girl, who is all of fifteen years old. Call Number: 823.91 He asks his parents to approach the girl‟s parents with an alliance. Being the potential groom‟s parents, and therefore NAR superior, they do it in a roundabout way. Meanwhile the impatient Chandran is lost in his dreams about Malathi, quite 17274 sure that it is only a matter of time before they are united. He just wishes it would not be too long before it happens. It is a humorously written story, highlighting the passions and the weakness of youth through the character of Chandran,
his infatuation with Malathi, his clumsy attempts at renunciation, and the quickness with which he agrees to marry another girl on his return.

It is an unavoidable side-effect of economic progress and the quest for order which is characteristic of modernity. Author: Zygmunt Bauman As long as large parts of the world remained wholly or partly unaffected by modernization, they were treated by Publisher: Polity Press modernizing societies as lands that were able to absorb the excess of population in the „developed countries‟. Global Year: 2003 solutions were sought, and temporarily found, to locally produced overpopulation problems. But as modernization has reached the furthest lands of the planet, „redundant population‟ is produced everywhere and all localities have to bear Call Number: 363.7 the consequences of modernity‟s global triumph. They are now confronted with the need to seek – in vain, it seems – BAU local solutions to globally produced problems. The global spread of the modernity has given rise to growing quantities 17280 of human beings who are deprived of adequate means of survival, but the planet is fast running out of places to put them. Hence the new anxieties about „immigrants‟ and „asylum seekers‟ and the growing role played by diffuse „security fears‟ on the contemporary political agenda. With characteristic brilliance, this new book by Zygmunt Bauman unravels the impact of this transformation on our contemporary culture and politics and shows that the problem of coping with „human waste‟ provides a key for understanding some otherwise baffling features of our shared life, from the strategies of global domination to the most intimate aspects of human relationships.

11 Prakrti: the Integral Vision (5 Vols. Set) PRAKRTI : The Integral Vision explores the concept of the primal Elements (Sky, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, etc.) which has governed and determined the evolution of civilizations and cultures. This 5-volume collection is the outcome of a series of five successive but inter- locked seminars culminating into cross-cultural, multi-disciplinary understanding. The First Volume, Primal Elements: The Oral Tradition, Author: Kapila Vatsyayan focuses attention on the articulation of cohesive communities communicating with the Elements in continuous unceasing dialogue. To them Publisher: D.K. Printworld the nature is not a matter of intellection; it is a question of life here and now. This is manifested in their primary myths and rituals which Year: 1995 sacralize nature so that man can live as an integral part of the Universe. The Second Volume, Vedic, Buddhist and Jain Traditions, centres on the texts, probing deep into the Vedic rituals, Upanisadic philosophies and Jyotisa sastra. There is a prodigious consideration of the concept of maha-bhutas in Buddhism and Jainism. It also brings forth the many covergences and divergences of the view-points between Call Number: 294.5 and amongst these different streams of Indian thought. The Third Volume, The Agamic Tradition and the Arts, examines systematically the VAT manifestation of the Elements in the Indian arts and their Agamic background. From the different vantage points of the architect, sculptor, 17293-17297 painter, musician and dancer, the field is reopened here to discern the structure of the arts at its primal level. Experiences of the transformation of the gross to the subtle and the theories of aesthetics and cultural ecology emerge from such a captivating view-point. The Fourth Volume, The Nature of Matter offers a much-needed critical appraisal of modern scientific concepts with reference to traditional thoughts. It contains invaluable discussion on quantum theory and elementary particles, evolution of living matter, nature and function of matter, scientific philosophy and Buddhist thought, Sankhya theory of matter, ancient and medieval biology, mysticism and modern science, traditional cosmology, matter and medicine, matter and consciousness, etc. The dialogue created between the method of science and the method of speculation is invigorating. The Fifth Volume, Man in Nature, is a coming together of cultures and disciplines. Enchanting in their own way, the international community of scientists, philosophers, anthropologists, ecologists and artists, share in this volume the myths and cosmology of their respective societies and cultures. There emerges a most meaningful dialogue between those who live with the myths of primordial elements and those who have modified the tools of science to investigate the nature of matter. This 5- volume set, first of its kind, produced by the most distinguished specialists in the field, should enjoy a wide readership amongst philosophers of many different persuasions, scientists, theorists of art and culture, particularly ecologists and anthropologists seeking new insights into the phenomena of Nature.

13 Inviting Death: Historical Experiments on One of the foremost communities to have paid serious attention to death are the Jainas of India. Indeed, their preoccupation with it has been so intense that without understanding their philosophy of death, it is almost impossible to make out their notion of life. While commending Sepulchral Hill death, however, they caution against throwing away life in a cavalier manner. They emphatically oppose suicide―a death-recourse prompted by emotion (raga) and violence (himsa)―and condemn it as a spiritual crime, a cowardly act resorted to by the immature and the Author: S Settar ignorant. Jainism recognizes forty-eight types of deaths, grouped under three major heads called bala-marana (foolish death), pandita- Publisher: Primus Books marana (wise-death), and pandita-pandita-marana (the wisest of wise death). For them, sallekhana is an art of mortifi cation, which is completed without hurting the soul or harming the mind.

6 Africa, Asia, and the History of Philosophy: In this provocative historiography, Peter K. J. Park provides a penetrating account of a crucial period in the development of Racism in the Formation of the philosophy as an academic discipline. During these decades, a number of European philosophers influenced by Immanuel Kant began to formulate the history of philosophy as a march of progress from the Greeks to Kant—a genealogy that supplanted existing Philosophical Canon, 1780–1830 accounts beginning in Egypt or Western Asia and at a time when European interest in Sanskrit and Persian literature was flourishing. Not without debate, these traditions were ultimately deemed outside the scope of philosophy and relegated to the study of religion. Author: Peter K. J. Park Park uncovers this debate and recounts the development of an exclusionary canon of philosophy in the decades of the late eighteenth Publisher: SUNY Press and early nineteenth centuries. To what extent was this exclusion of Africa and Asia a result of the scientization of philosophy? To Year: 2013 what extent was it a result of racism?

Prothero recounts the scientific detective work that shaped our understanding of geology, from the People Who Solved Them unearthing of exemplary specimens to tectonic shifts in how we view the inner workings of our planet.
Author: Donald R. Prothero Prothero follows in the footsteps of the scientists who asked—and answered—geology’s biggest questions: How do we know how Publisher: Columbia University Press old the earth is? What happened to the supercontinent Pangea? How did ocean rocks end up at the top of Mount Everest? What can Year: 2018 we learn about our planet from meteorites and moon rocks? He answers these questions through expertly chosen case studies, such as Pliny the Younger’s firsthand account of the eruption of Vesuvius; the granite outcrops that led a Scottish scientist to theorize that the Call Number: 551 landscapes he witnessed were far older than Noah’s Flood; the salt and gypsum deposits under the Mediterranean Sea that indicate that it was once a desert; and how trying to date the age of meteorites revealed the dangers of lead poisoning.

1 The Roots of the Periphery: A History of the Is primitivism a consequence of the natural evolution of some human societies? Or is it a conscious choice by such societies to Gonds of Deccan India evade state power? In The Roots of the Periphery, Bhangya Bhukya sets out to answer these questions by taking as his focal point the case of the Gond dynasty of the erstwhile Chanda region of Deccan India. Arguing that the 'periphery'-the adivasis (or the
indigenous peoples)-have their roots in the 'centre', he demonstrates how the British colonial government in India created an Author: Bhangya Bhukya administrative divide between the plains and the hills, thus stereotyping hill and forest communities as isolated, primitive, barbaric, Publisher: Oxford University Press and uncivilized.

21 Political Violence in Ancient India Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru helped create the myth of a nonviolent ancient India while building a modern independence movement on the principle of nonviolence (ahimsa). But this myth obscures a troubled and complex heritage: a long struggle to reconcile the ethics of nonviolence with the need to use violence to rule. Upinder Singh documents the dynamic tension Author: Upinder Singh between violence and nonviolence in ancient Indian political thought and practice over twelve hundred years. Publisher: Harvard University Press Year: 2017 Political Violence in Ancient India looks at representations of kingship and political violence in epics, religious texts, political treatises, plays, poems, inscriptions, and art from 600 BCE to 600 CE. As kings controlled their realms, fought battles, and meted Call Number: 303.60934 out justice, intellectuals debated the boundary between the force required to sustain power and the excess that led to tyranny and SIN oppression. Duty (dharma) and renunciation were important in this discussion, as were punishment, war, forest tribes, and the royal 17349 hunt. Singh reveals a range of perspectives that defy rigid religious categorization. Buddhists, Jainas, and even the pacifist Maurya emperor Ashoka recognized that absolute nonviolence was impossible for kings.
By 600 CE religious thinkers, political theorists, and poets had justified and aestheticized political violence to a great extent. Nevertheless, questions, doubt, and dissent remained. These debates are as important for understanding political ideas in the ancient world as for thinking about the problem of political violence in our own time.

22 The Nick of Time: Politics, Evolution, and the In this pathbreaking philosophical work, Elizabeth Grosz points the way toward a theory of becoming to replace the prevailing Untimely ontologies of being in social, political, and biological discourse. Arguing that theories of temporality have significant and underappreciated relevance to the social dimensions of science and the political dimensions of struggle, Grosz engages key theoretical concerns related to the reality of time. She explores the effect of time on the organization of matter and on the Author: Elizabeth Grosz emergence and development of biological life. Considering how the relentless forward movement of time might be conceived in Publisher: Duke University Press political and social terms, she begins to formulate a model of time that incorporates the future and its capacity to supersede and Year: 2004 transform the past and present. Grosz develops her argument by juxtaposing the work of three major figures in Western thought: Charles Darwin, Friedrich Call Number: 128 Nietzsche, and Henri Bergson. She reveals that in theorizing time as an active, positive phenomenon with its own characteristics GRO and specific effects, each of these thinkers had a profound effect on contemporary understandings of the body in relation to time. She shows how their allied concepts of life, evolution, and becoming are manifest in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Luce Irigaray. 17350 Throughout The Nick of Time, Grosz emphasizes the political and cultural imperative to fundamentally rethink time: the more clearly we understand our temporal location as beings straddling the past and the future without the security of a stable and abiding present, the more transformation becomes conceivable.

One important source is a Bhakti Movement widely-accepted narrative called the “bhakti movement.” Bhakti is the religion of the heart, of song, of common participation, of inner peace, of anguished protest. The idea known as the bhakti movement asserts that between 600 and 1600 CE, poet-saints sang bhakti from India’s southernmost tip to its northern Himalayan heights, laying the religious bedrock upon which the modern state of Author: John Stratton Hawley India would be built. Publisher: Harvard University Press Year: 2015 Challenging this canonical narrative, John Stratton Hawley clarifies the historical and political contingencies that gave birth to the concept of the bhakti movement. Starting with the Mughals and their Kachvaha allies, North Indian groups looked to the Hindu Call Number: 294.509 South as a resource that would give religious and linguistic depth to their own collective history. Only in the early twentieth century HAW did the idea of a bhakti “movement” crystallize—in the intellectual circle surrounding Rabindranath Tagore in Bengal. Interactions 17351 between Hindus and Muslims, between the sexes, between proud regional cultures, and between upper castes and Dalits are crucially embedded in the narrative, making it a powerful political resource.
A Storm of Songs ponders the destiny of the idea of the bhakti movement in a globalizing India. If bhakti is the beating heart of India, this is the story of how it was implanted there—and whether it can survive.

9 In Diasporic Lands: Tibetan Refugees and A large number of Tibetans migrated to India following the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1950. Till the end of the twentieth their Transformation since the Exodus century, Tibetan studies focused primarily on Buddhism and pre-1950s Tibetan history in relation to Tibetan exiles, influenced largely by Western notions of Tibetan culture in an exotic ‘Shangri-La’. In Diasporic Lands moves away from this norm to study the dynamics of Tibetan refugees’ emergent culture in the midst of their hosts, and in distinctly urban settings. Author: Sudeep Basu Based on the author’s ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Darjeeling town, West Bengal, this volume looks at how places and Publisher: Orient Blackswan identities are redefined and transformed by refugees negotiating their ‘belonging’ in an alien country over time. The earlier strategy Year: 2018 of the ‘myth of return’ to their homeland has had to be reworked, and in the process, Tibetan refugees have moved away from the stereotyped ways in which they are portrayed to create plural identities of their own. The volume also looks at how the refugee–host Call Number: 304.8540515 dynamic—where the ‘hosts’ are Indians, Nepalis and ‘Bhutia’ Tibetans—plays out in such a situation. BAS Tibetan refugees in India grapple with notions of what Tibet as the homeland stands for, what it means to truly belong to the host 17359 territory and to acquire Indian citizenship. The ethnographic analysis, which reflects on Tibet’s past and the ‘exile present’, helps us to understand the ‘lived meanings’ that Tibetan refugees in Darjeeling attach to their life in exile and to the spaces they live and work in. It also shows how the experience of movement to and from a place alters the idea that people have of their relation to a specific place in the diaspora, and how this ‘sense of place’ adds meaning and purpose to refugee lives. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, social anthropology, politics, cultural studies and migration studies, as well as policy makers and human rights activists.

2 Raja Deen Dayal: Artist-Photographer in During his lifetime, the path-breaking and prolific lensman Raja Deen Dayal (1884 1905) was one of the most widely recognized 19th-Century India photographers from the Indian subcontinent. Today he remains among the most celebrated figures from this earlier era. This book brings together for the first time extensive archival research with close analysis of the significant body of Dayal's work preserved in the Alkazi Collection of Photography. Over the course of his remarkable career, Dayal opened studios in Indore, Secunderabad, and Author: Deepali Dewan & Deborah Hutton Bombay, employing over fifty staff photographers and assistants. Together, they produced over 30,000 images of architecture, Publisher: Mapin Publishing landscape, and people that have played a central role in how India's past has been visualised. This volume explores varied topics, Year: 2013 from Dayal's public works, state visit, and hunting photographs to his images chronicling India's elite and growing middle classes. In this way, he lays the groundwork needed to rethink the history and practice of photography in India: as a commercial business, as an Call Number: 770.954 engagement with new technology, and as an aesthetic enterprise. Trained as a draughtsman, Dayal rose quickly through the ranks as a DEW Surveyor with the Public Works Department of the Central India Agency in Indore. He began photographing in the mid-1870s, 17372 becoming a master in the delicate art of developing glass plate negatives and albumen prints and producing what are still some of the most stunning views of the architecture and landscape of northern India. Ever the consummate businessman, Dayal soon counted the elite of British and Indian society amongst his clients. Eventually, he was appointed court photographer to the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad, and the studio became the first Indian firm to receive the Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria. Dayal's career testifies to photography's paramount role in the overlapping arenas of the Princely states, British Raj, and the emerging cosmopolitan centres of nineteenth-century India.

5 Energy Security in Asia and Eurasia Many states appear to have strong sentiment on energy security and energy transit vulnerability. Some analysts see the rapidly increasing demand for energy and competition for energy resources leading to nationalistic energy policies. Others argue that global trends with efficient energy markets and growing options on renewables suggest more relaxed energy outlooks. Author: Mike M. Mochizuki & Deepa M. Ollapally, Eds. This book focuses on Asia, where global demand for energy is now concentrated in the aspiring and rising powers of the region: Publisher: Routledge China, India, Japan and South Korea, and also recognises the importance of Russia as a growing energy supplier. Contributions by Year: 2017 experts in the field provide detailed and parallel case studies. Shedding light on the ongoing debate in the literature regarding energy outlooks of major Asian states, they analyse whether energy policies are expected to evolve along market oriented cooperative lines or more competitive and even destructive mercantile, nationalist lines. The book argues that states are not unitary actors even in the Call Number: 333.7916095 key energy security arena and there are competing and contrasting viewpoints in Asian states on energy security. It suggests that MOC domestic debates structure thinking on energy security, making energy policy more contingent than assumed by purely market or 17375 geopolitical logics.
Providing a strong contribution to comparative energy security studies, the book fills an important gap in the literature on energy and national security and offers a basis for conducting further inter-state, interactive analysis. It will be of interest to researchers on Asian Studies, energy politics and international relations.

6 Japanese Development Cooperation: The The world order as we know it is currently undergoing profound changes, and in its wake, so is foreign aid. Donors of foreign aid, Making of an Aid Architecture Pivoting to development assistance or development cooperation around the world are already facing new challenges in the changing Asia development architecture. This is an architecture that globally seems to become increasingly forgiving of foreign aid as a win-win concept that also meets the donors’ own national interests—something that has been an unofficial Japanese trademark for many years. Author: Andre Asplund and Marie This book examines Japan’s development assistance as it transitions away from Official Development Assistance and towards Soderberg, Eds Development Cooperation. In this transition, the strong and reciprocal relationships between Japanese development policy and Publisher: Routledge comprehensive security, diplomacy, foreign, domestic and economic policies are likely to become even more consolidated and Year: 2017 integrated. The utilization of, and changes within, Japanese development policy therefore affects not only recipients of foreign aid but also the relationships Japan enjoys with its allies and strategic partners, as well as the relations to competing donors and rivals in Call Number: 338.9152091724 the region and around the world. Japanese foreign aid as such provides an extremely interesting case from where regional and even ASP global changes can be understood. Written by a multidisciplinary team of contributors from the fields of political science, 17376 international relations, development, economics, public opinion and Japan studies, the book sets out to be innovative in capturing the essence of the changing patterns of development cooperation, and more importantly, Japan’s role in within it, in an era of great change.
This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese Politics, Foreign Policy and International Relations.

7 Uneven Odds: Social Mobility in Social mobility research has held a central place in the sociological analysis of industrialized countries of the west, particularly with Contemporary India regard to the study of stratification systems, their forms, and processes. The research on India has however been mostly scattered. The lack of systematic research in this area implies that we do not have a sense of the precise amount of social mobility in
contemporary India, and the changes such mobility has had on social structures over time and across demographics. This book draws Author: Divya Vaid on national level datasets and quantitative methods to understand the multiple strands of social mobility or the lack of it, by focusing Publisher: Oxford University Press on the overlapping identities of social class, caste, and gender in both rural and urban context. It investigates the contemporary Year: 2018 processes and drivers of mobility, and appraises the role of education in supporting or preventing increased upward social mobility by concentrating on those groups that are disadvantaged from this very opportunity.

As one of the most powerful rulers of Virupaksha Temple, Pattadakal the Early Chalukya dynasty, Vikramaditya II controlled territories spread over a vast region of central and southern India. The Virupaksha Temple commemorated his crucial victory over the rival Pallava dynasty to the southeast. Dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva and richly adorned with carved images of Shiva, Vishnu, and other deities, the Virupaksha Temple is widely considered one of Author: Cathleen Cummings the most important of the freestanding structures erected during the Chalukya era, and it represents the zenith of temple construction Publisher: South Asian Studies Association of its period. Although this temple has been studied for more than a century and appears in virtually every textbook on Indian art, its Year: 2014 iconographic program has never been fully explored. Decoding a Hindu Temple: Royalty and Religion in the Iconographic Program of the Virupaksha Temple, Pattadakal interprets the iconographic program of Virupaksha Temple. The work demonstrates that the Call Number: 726.145095487 iconography of the temple is expressive of royal aspirations-both material and spiritual-as well of past successes. Specific imagery that legitimizes the king through references to his genealogy and lineage, his royal marriage, and his conquests and defeats of other CUM rival monarchs are identified, as well as his role in upholding the social order. The temple is understood as the formal "stage" for the 17388 king's ceremonial life, a testament to his wealth and authority, and the vehicle through which his reign was sacralized and reified. Overall, the book suggests that through its figurative imagery, the temple's iconography reiterates the world orders of both the physical realm and the cosmos at large. At the same time, the book looks at the issue of female patronage to show that the temple reflected the importance of the role of the queen to the functioning of the kingdom. The book suggests a function of the Hindu temple not previously identified, but likely applicable more generally to monuments throughout ancient India.
