In the first lecture we will introduce the course as a whole and discuss the various approaches, themes and issues that may be addressed in the study of the temple in South Asia. These may include the temple as a monument, as symbol, as a political arena, a ritual theatre and as sacred space. This is not a survey of the history of Indian temple architecture but a more wide-ranging exploration of ideas and approaches.
This Lecture is part of the Postgraduate THE INDIAN TEMPLE Course
