Note(s) : 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
