Soft cover. Zustand: New. The awe-inspiring Gommateshvara image at the summit of Vindhyagiri above the town of Shravanabelagola in Karnataka is the largest figural monolith in India. Dating back to the 10th century, it is today the most popular pilgrimage destination for Jainas in southern India, especially during the Mahamastak Abhisheka festival held here every twelve years. Smaller versions of the Gommateshvara statue belonging to later times are also seen at Karkala and Venur. Together with the town of Mudabidri, these sites all have Jaina shrines known as basadis built in local architectural styles housing stone and metal statues of the Jaina Tirthankaras. Authored by Julia A. B. Hegewald, a specialist in Jaina architectural traditions and ritual practices, and illustrated with specially commissioned photographs by Surendra Kumar, Jaina Tradition of the Deccan provides an essential introduction to all these Jaina monuments. After outlining the history of Jainism in the Deccan, its beliefs and practices, the volume directs visitors up the granite hills at Shravanabelagola and Karkala to visit the basadis and Gommateshvara images. It then conducts visitors around the towns of Shravanabelagola and Mudabidri, describing the various basadis and their collections of precious images. It also covers the murals to be seen in the maths at Shravanabelagola and Mudabidri. This information should prove indispensable to interested visitors, scholars and students. …

Jaina studies are expanding and increasingly gaining in international recognition Counterbalancing an earlier bias towards research on the Shvetambara community and on north-western India there are a number of recent surveys on the Digambaras in the South These studies however have generally neglected the modern State of Karnataka This historically and culturally significant region in which Jainism has played a major role forms the focus of the present volume Despite its emphasis on Digambara Jainism and on Karnataka the book includes many references to other religious groups striving for supremacy in the region and to neighbouring States in the wider area of South IndiaIn addition to the novel emphases in terms of religious and regional approach this collection of thirteen research papers revolves around the question of what is heritage and who defines it The scholarly contributions combine the latest findings from the three main disciplines of history art and architecture and religious studies-with ample citations from literature epigraphy archaeology and anthropology In their entirety they widen our understanding of the concept of heritage and approach hitherto neglected areas of research Particularly important are the contributions providing fresh evidence on political history and the rise and subsequent relative decline of the Jaina community in the South Equally significant are the investigations into neglected and so-far unknown areas of architectural history combined with the provision of revised interpretations of known sites The scholarly contributions from religious studies emphasise the distinction and resilience of the Digambara Jainas and outline religious change over a period stretching from the early centuries BCE to the present dayBy introducing new areas of enquiry identifying important signifiers of heritage reinterpreting earlier findings drawing on modern South Asian studies and combining research findings from across a number of academic fields in an interdisciplinary manner this collection of specialist papers reveals new ways of seeing and understanding the splendour and complexities of the Jaina heritage In doing so it opens up a number of new questions concerning the construction and preservation of the heritages of other groups and regions of South Asia and the wider world as well 338 pp.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This study examines the rise and decline of Jaina influence in the South Indian state of Karnataka. From roughly the second century CE, Jaina authority rose steadily, so that between around the eight and the early twelfth centuries CE, the Jainas clearly dominated in the fields of politics, religion, philosophy and the arts. This gain in influence led the Jainas to undertake a number of changes to their own religious self-understanding and ritual practice. Some ascetic groups started to settle down in monasteries. The receipt of donations turned the community into a dominant landowning class, which diversified into a number of ascetic subgroups and lay castes. The Tantric and bhakti movements at the time also had a marked effect on Jaina sacred practices. From the twelfth century, a withdrawal of royal support, the fragmentation of the community and the arrival of rival religious groups in the area led to a sudden decline. In this publication, the process of the ascent and weakening of this major religious faith is examined through the lens of its religious art and architecture. In these areas, it becomes apparent that despite a clear loss in political and economic power, Jainism and many of its pilgrimage sites survived and are still flourishing in Karnataka today.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Have you ever thought about dependencies in Asian art and architecture Most people would probably assume that the arts are free and that creativity and ingenuity function outside of such reliances. However, the 13 chapters provided by specialists in the fields of Asian art and architecture in this volume show, that those active in the visual arts and the built environment operate in an area of strict relations of often extreme dependences. Material artefacts and edifices are dependent on the climate in which they have been created, on the availability of resources for their production, on social and religious traditions, which may be oral or written down and on donors, patrons and the art market. Furthermore, gender and labour dependencies play a role in the creation of the arts as well. Despite these strong and in most instances asymmetrical dependencies, artists have at all times found freedoms in expressing their own imagination, vision and originality. This shows that dependencies and freedoms are not necessarily strictly separated binary opposites but that, at least in the area of the history of art and architecture in Asia, the two are interconnected in what are often complex and multifaceted layers.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Why did the Jainas in Karnataka plunge from a position of supremacy into one of severe dependency After a steep and steady rise throughout the region from about the fifth century CE, Jaina influence waned dramatically from the late eleventh or early twelfth centuries onwards. In this publication, specialists in Indian history, religious studies and anthropology, as well as historians of art and architecture, discuss various expressions of this sudden and detrimental decline and explore the reasons for it, focusing in particular on the relations of the Jainas with Virasaivas and Muslims. The evidence provided by the five international scholars, who offer insights from different disciplinal backgrounds, indicates that the reasons for the Jainas' loss of authority in the region were manifold. Certain internal triggers, such as changes in Jaina social structure and religious practices, adversely affected their position over time. In particular, however, the withdrawal of royal patronage, the success of the Virasaivas as traders, and the emergence in the area at this time of a number of competing religious groups caused the Jainas to slip into a position of strong asymmetrical dependency.…
