Hardcover. Zustand: New. Knowledge is an awareness of facts, a familiarity with individuals and situations, or a practical skill. Knowledge of facts, also called propositional knowledge, is often characterized as true belief that is distinct from opinion or guesswork by virtue of justification. While there is wide agreement among philosophers that propositional knowledge is a form of true belief, many controversies focus on justification. This includes questions like how to understand justification, whether it is needed at all, and whether something else besides it is needed.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Reputed to be one of the most sacred landscapes, an abode of Siva where Siva conquered kala, the force of decay and destruction Kalanjara hill persists as one of the strongest forts in the country. It faced a number of crucial battles for possession, but it was more than a fort and a political centre. The hill has been a sacred tirtha distinguished as a symbol of cultural and religious majesty. Its composition was the result of two diverse religious faiths the elite , if one may address the Brahmanical pantheons adapted by the progressing societies, and the magico-religious practices of the Adivasis. The ruling king also honoured the faith of the Adivasis (mainly Pulindas) and carved out colossal images of Lord Siva and other deities associated with local and tribal beliefs. The pleasant location of the Kalanjara hill in the midst of the Vindhyan forest attracted ancient sages for religious practices. The most favoured deity of this hill-fort is the ageless Nilakantha installed in a cave shrine, which exemplifies the exclusive progression from cave to structural addition, and it is one of the oldest living temples in the country and the world. Being a complex of many religious spots, it attracts both the royal and common worshippers, and even at present a huge mass of people come here during festivals. Scholars of historical and cultural studies admit that religious landscape studies need to be attempted at a large scale if the rich heritage of our country is to be projected in its totality. Kalanjara forms the nucleus of such a sacred landscape, which crosses multiple cultural boundaries, both in time and space, and has great potential for a meaningful study of the past as well as the present culture of Bundelkhand-Vindhyan region in particular, and Central India in general. The historical growth of material expressions of religious meanings and artistic generosity, acculturation of styles of carvings, fusion of mythology, and institutionalization of a Saiva-pitha are well documented here. The present volume brings to light the available information in forms of art, architecture and epigraphs, which has been assimilated by specialists in the field of palaeography, epigraphy and art history. The interpretation of information in terms of reconstruction of the religious landscape adds further value to this study. The discussion and synthesis of the collected information from this sacred landscape has been weaved in a way that will offer an interesting and thought-provoking reading to the scholars and would certainly be useful to historians and researchers of cultural studies.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface.1. Introduction. 2. Kakanamatha Temple: Architecture, Sculptures and Inscriptions. 3. Ambika Devi Temple: Architecture, Sculptures and Inscriptions. 4. Other Temples: Sculptures and Inscriptions. 5. Artefacts Found in the Village: Art and Iconography. 6. Sculptures in Museums: Art and Iconography. Glossary. Bibliography. Index. Local history and archaeology is vital to appreciate the land and its people, cultural evolution in the area, discovery and utilization of natural resources, religious activities, art and architecture, etc. as well as to understand the profile of the region and the country. Central India is very rich in terms of art and architecture and its uniform and diverse features, innovation and continuity of forms, and so on. Three families of the Kachchhapaghatas ruled over the northern part of Central India. Of them, the Sihonia-Gwalior branch ruled for a longer period of time (ninth to twelfth century) and built a number of monuments at different places. Remains of their temples and sculptures reveal some unique features like, the bhadra niches of the Kakanamatha temple which take the form of miniature doors with ribbed awnings and phamsana-style pediments in accordance with ninth century conventions, the devices like kuta which, with more intricately worked mesh-pattern, pillar with festoons, and attached figures, appear to be the characteristic features of the Gopadri region, the extreme side of the panel depicting figures of different types of vyalas, which is a typical feature of the Kachchhapaghata style and so on. Scholars of historical and cultural studies admit that the study of religious landscape needs to be attempted at a large scale if the rich heritage of our country is to be projected in its totality. Sihonia, the ancient capital city of the Kachchhapaghatas, forms the nucleus of such a sacred landscape as there are remains of more than a dozen temples belonging to different religious beliefs, which cross multiple cultural boundaries, both in time and space, and thus has great potential for a meaningful study of the culture of the Gopadri region in particular and of Central India in general. The historical growth of the material expression of religious meanings and artistic generosity, the acculturation of the style of carvings, fusion of mythology, and institutionalization of Saiva and Sakti pithas are well documented here. The present volume brings to light the available information in forms of art, architecture, and inscriptions, which has been assimilated. The interpretation of information, in terms of reconstruction of the religious landscape, adds further value to this study. The discussion and synthesis of the collected information from this ancient capital city has been weaved in a way that will offer an interesting and thought-provoking read to the scholars and would certainly be useful to the historians and researchers of cultural studies.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction/Vidula Jayaswal. 2. Palaeographic Records of Mundeshwari: Documentation of Inscriptions/Arvind Kumar Singh. 3. Iconography and Sculptural Art: Documentation of Sculptures/Meera Sharma. 4. Mundeshwari in Lore: Ethnography and Mythology/Vidula Jayaswal and Seema Patel. 5. Origin and growth of sacred landscape of Mundeshwari/Vidula Jayaswal. Bibliography. Index. Reputed to be one of the oldest living temples of the world, Mundeshwari is also the oldest temple of Nagar/North Indian style in the outskirts of Varanasi. Its significance increases further when one finds its composition to be governed by two diverse religious traditionsthe 'Elite' and the 'Adivasi'. The shrine is an example of acculturation, and is a happy blending of the Brahmanical and Adivasi religious ideologies and practices. An ancient cultural outpost of Varanasi, Mundeshwari now forms part of Bihar state. However, the customs and religious traditions followed here are those of Kashi-kshetra. It thus adds a new dimension to the cultural and religious history of Varanasi, besides demonstrating the rich heritage of Bihar province. The book not only documents the findings of epigraphic records and a large scatter of icons and fragments of shrines, which are in hundreds, but also incorporates views/interviews of the local inhabitants and the visitors, both of the adivasi and non-adivasi communities. Since the local inhabitants have always been the main custodians of this sacred landscape, ethnographic recordings add new facet to this study. The present volume brings to light all the available information on the historical, ethnographic and archival records of Mundeshwari. Together with the data which has been assimilated by experts in the field of epigraphy, art history and ethnography, its interpretation in terms of reconstruction of the religious landscape adds further value to this study. The documentation and detailed study of Mundeshwari compiled in this book would certainly be useful to the historians and researchers of cultural studies. The discussion and synthesis of the collected information from this Shiva-Shakti peetha has been weaved in a way that will provide an interesting and thought-provoking reading to the scholars.
