In this innovative study, Gita V. Pai traces the history of the
Pudu Mandapam (Tamil, 'new hall') – a Hindu temple structure in
Madurai – through the rise and fall of empires in south India
from the seventeenth century to the present. This wide-ranging work
illustrates how south Indian temples became entangled in broader
conflicts over sovereignty, from early modern Nayaka kings, to
British colonial rule, to the post-independence government today.
Drawing from methodologies in anthropology, religious studies, and
art and architectural history, the author argues that the small
temple site provides profound insight into the relationship between
aesthetics, sovereignty, and religion in modern South Asia.
