In Pakistan's northwest, a sequence of temples built between the sixth and the tenth centuries provides a missing chapter in the evolution of the Hindu temple in South Asia. Combining some elements from Buddhist architecture in Gandharā with the symbolically powerful curvilinear Nāgara tower formulated in the early post-Gupta period, this group stands as an independent school of that pan-Indic form, offering new evidence for its creation and original variations in the four centuries of its existence. Drawing on recent archaeology undertaken by the Pakistan Heritage Society as well as scholarship from the Encyclopaedia of Indian Temple Architecture project, this volume finally allows the Salt Range and Indus temples to be integrated with the greater South Asian tradition.

Élevé entre la fin du ixe et la première moitié du xe siècle au cœur du delta de la Kāvēri du pays tamoul, en l’honneur du « grand dieu de Tirukkaṭaimuṭi », le temple shivaïte de Tirucceṉṉampūṇṭi constitue l’assise de cet ouvrage. Maintenant abandonné, ce temple est l’un des exemples les plus anciens d’un art dit Cōḻa. L’analyse conduit à proposer qu’il fut construit en l’honneur d’une des divinités shivaïtes chantées dans l’anthologie poétique des premiers hymnes à Śiva du pays tamoul, le Tēvāram (VIIe-IXe siècles). La difficulté à cerner l’identité du plus important des patrons du temple, la reine Pallava Māṟampāvai, répond à la complexité d’un site où s’entrelacent différents corpus, poèmes, épigraphes, sculptures, monuments Pallava et manifestations artistiques de la période cōḻa. Tirucceṉṉampūṇṭi est ainsi exploré à travers trois directions de recherche principales : il s’agit de définir l’art Cōḻa en reconnaissant la contribution des temples royaux des Pallava et en s’interrogeant sur l’usage des labels dynastiques, d’explorer la relation entre le monde des textes et celui de l’archéologie à l’aide de deux corpus précis, l’un iconographique, l’autre épigraphique et, enfin, d’examiner la relation entre royal et local pour ce qui concerne le phénomène religieux connu sous le nom de "Bhakti". Femme active dans une région déterminée, se proclamant dans des inscriptions tamoules membre d’une famille des Pallava fameuse pour son épigraphie sanskrite, liée à une communauté de marchands plus qu’aux brahmanes, Māṟampāvai paraît cristalliser les rencontres entre plusieurs mondes. L’univers divin n’est pas le moins complexe d’entre eux : Viṣṇu The heart of this book is a temple built in the Tamil-speaking South in the late 9th or early 10th century CE, at Tirucceṉṉampūṇṭi, near Trichy. Now abandoned, that temple is one of the earliest known Śaiva temples of the Cōḻa period. The evidence gathered here suggests that this shrine, dedicated to Śiva as "the great god of…

"The Hegemony of Heritage makes an original and significant contribution to our understanding of how architectural objects and societies' relationship to the built environment change over time. Using the pairing of two living medieval monuments in Southern Rajasthan--the Ambika Temple in Jagat, Rajasthan, and the Ékalingji Temple Complex in Kailaspuri--the author underscores many aspects of practice and avoids focusing simply on their divergent sectarian affiliations or patronage structures. This book offers new and extremely valuable questions about these important monuments, such as the entangled politics of antiquity and whether a monument's ritual record is affirmed as continuous and hence hoary, or dismissed as discontinuous or reinvented through various strategies. The Hegemony of Heritage engages theoretical constructs with the richness of ethnographic description and asks us to rethink notions such as archive and text through the filter of sculpture and mantra."--Provided by publisher.
