    Female Figure Analysis

    The Rajarajeshwara temple at Thanjavur , was built by Raja Raja Chola I, in ca 1010 c.e. The massive temple is made out of granite and it’s decorated with multiple carvings. Above this intricate place of worship sits a massive round stone cap. The mast atop this capstone serves as an axis mundi in order to connect the earth to heaven. The Rajarajeshwara temple is another temple dedicated to Shiva. Today the temple still functions as a sacred place for followers of Hindu to worship. Here worshipers gather and “circumambulate around the lingam shrine” (83). This monumental temple also functions as a reminder of the greatness of the powerful king Rajaraja who built…

    Valmiki Bhavan Research Paper

    Valmiki Bhavan, or “Valmiki’s building,” is an ancient Hindu temple in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India. I visited and researched this sacred site online through video tours and pictures. Built around 1970 and unaltered, this site was constructed with white marble and red stones from Rajasthan. Usually in Hindu temples, and in this particular one as well, around the interior are statues, scriptures, and other decor. From the tile to the walls, pillars and even the ceiling, the building has patterns, pictures and inscriptions. With a capacity of about 5,000 people, this large Bhavan would be considered almost empty due to the lack of furniture. There aren’t any chairs or benches to sit for the purpose of allowing space to walk and to allow people to worship in their preferential…

    Analysis Of 'Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir'

    Though this modern South Indian city was established by the British Raj in 1827, it was an ancient historic town and was a bustling seaport during the time between 1st century and 140 CE. Ancient Indian traders who went to countries of South East Asia sailed from this seaport. It has a group of sanctuaries, which were carved out of rock along the Coromandel coast in the 7th and 8th centuries - rathas (temples in the form of chariots), mandapas (cave sanctuaries), giant open-air reliefs such as the famous 'Descent of the Ganges', and…

    Decoding Myths Through Archetypal Amplification

    The shrine of the Goddess Kamakhya is situated on the top of the hill called Nilachala on the southern bank of the mighty river Brahmaputra, at a distance of 6 km from the heart of the city of Guwahati. The Goddess in the sanctum sanctorum of the shrine is in laconic form and not an anthropomorphic one. In other words, there is no icon of the Goddess and thus it is unique in its own standing. Perhaps except the temple of Sambaleswari at Sambalpur in Orissa, there is no temple in India without an image of the presiding deity.…

    Comparison of India and China Architecture

    One of the most enduring achievements of Indian civilization is undoubtedly its architecture, which extends to a great deal more than the Taj Mahal or the temple complexes of Khajuraho and Vijayanagara. The beginnings of Indian architecture are more properly to be dated to the start of Buddhism in India, in the reign of Ashoka and the construction of Buddhist monasteries and stupas. Buddhist architecture was predominant for several centuries, and there are few remains of Hindu temples from even late antiquity. Some of the best Buddhist arts and architecture are the Great Stupa at Sanchi and the rock-cut caves at Ajanta. The Great stupa is dome shapes topped by a triple parasol set within a square railing. Ajanta’s caves where carved deeply out of the mountain side to make beautiful scenery. The architecture of India comes from its history, culture, and religion. Indian architecture progressed with time and learned the many influences that came as a result of India's global discourse with other regions of the world. The architectural methods practiced in India are a result of examination and implementation of its established building traditions and outside cultural interactions. Though old, this Eastern tradition has also incorporated modern values as India became a modern nation state. The urban architecture of India as the country became more integrated with the world's economy. Traditional Vastu Shastra remains influential in India's architecture during the contemporary era. The Buddhist stupa, a dome shaped monument, was used in India as a commemorative monument associated with storing sacred relics. The stupa architecture was adopted in Southeast and East Asia, where it became prominent as a Buddhist monument used for enshrining sacred relics. Upon its discovery, this architectural became known as pagoda to the people from the Western world. Fortified cities with stūpas, viharas, and temples were constructed during the Maurya empire. Wooden architecture…

    Archaeologist Rakhaldas Bandyopadhyay

    The discovery of the site of Mohenjodaro was a huge discovery that shed some light into Harappan civilization. Mohenjodaro means “mound of the dead”. It was discovered in 1922 by Rakhaldas Bandyopadhyay who was a member of the Archaeological Survey of India (4). He originally went to the Sindh province of Pakistan to search for pillars of victory that were made by the Greeks but instead he saw a large mound. There was a large mound of dirt over the site and at first he believed that there was a buddhist stupa underneath. A stupa is a term used by buddhists to refer to a monument that contains religious buddhist artifacts (5). This would make sense to Bandyopadhyay because there were several stupa’s found in India and there were also buddhist burial mounds. While…

    discription of ajanta caves

    The caves are located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, Jalgaon, just outside the village of Ajinṭhā 20°31′56″N 75°44′44″E), about 59 kilometres (36 miles) from Jalgaon railway station on the Delhi – Mumbai line of the Central Railway zone, and 104 kilometres (64 miles) from the city of Aurangabad. They are 100 kilometres (62 miles) from the Ellora Caves, which contain Hindu and Jain temples as well as Buddhist caves, the last dating from a period similar to Ajanta. The Ajanta caves are cut into the side of a cliff that is on the south side of a U-shaped gorge on the small river Waghora (or Wagura), and although they are now along and above a modern pathway running across the cliff they were originally reached by individual stairs or ladders from the side of the river 35 to 110 feet below.[6]…

    Badami Caves, India

    The famous cave dates back to 578 A.D, carved out of red sandstone and was most likely the first to be carved. The cave has 40 odd steps that take one to the covered verandah, a hall with many pillars. Shiva as Natraja with 18 arms is seen in 81 dancing poses. Column beams are exquisitely crafted. On the ceiling one can see the paintings of passionate couples. One also comes across sculptures of the deities of Harihara (half-Vishnu, half-Siva), their consorts Lakshmi and Parvati and, and Ardhanarishwar.
