This book studies Nātha sampradāya through archaeological
evidence for the first time. Drawing on a pioneering approach to
the study of ascetic traditions, it investigates not only the
nature of the Nātha sampradāya’s religious architecture but
also examines the extent to which they shared space with other
religious groups such as the devotees of Siva and Sakti, Buddhism,
and Islam, especially with the Sufi tradition. Focusing on western
India, the book sifts through a variety of archaeological evidence
and documentation of their temples, caves, and maṭhas. It
critically analyses iconographic representations of ascetics on
temple walls and sculptural representations of yogic postures or
āsanas. Further, these representations are discussed within a
pan-South Asian framework to highlight both the commonalities of
the tradition across the subcontinent and the regional
specificities, along with their chronological spread. Breaking new
ground, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and
researchers of religion, especially Hinduism, history, archaeology,
and South Asian studies.
