This volume focuses on the religious shrine in western India as an
institution of cultural integration in the period spanning 200 BCE
to 800 CE. It presents an analysis of religious architecture at
multiple levels, both temporal and spatial, and distinguishes it as
a ritual instrument that integrates individuals and communities
into a cultural fabric. The work shows how these structures
emphasise on communication with a host of audiences such as the lay
worshipper, the ritual specialist, the royalty and the elite as
well as the artisan and the sculptor. It also examines religious
imagery, inscriptions, traditional lore and Sanskrit literature.
The book will be of special interest to researchers and scholars of
ancient Indian history, Hinduism, religious studies, architecture
and South Asian studies.
