Drawing on both textual and archaeological evidence, this study
offers an integrated approach to scholarly debates on monasteries
and guru relics in South India between the fourteenth and
seventeenth centuries. This study analyzes the role of the guru in
the development of Hindu monastic orders, from centers of education
to institutions of traditional authority. Focusing on the complex
socio-religious context of the whole-body icon, the author analyzes
the relic as a nexus of contradictions surrounding sacredness and
death.
