The Great Temple at Tanjavur is a visual representation of Cosmic power on earth that remains, according to the pious wish of the builder, so long as the sun and moon lasts. The God who inhabits this abode is said to be seated with his consort on the summit of the metaphysical mountain surrounded by a circle of peaks in which the divine power descends in diminishing potency as it comes down gradually and takes his abode at the peak of the circle, appropriate to his direction and also the relative importance in the hierarchy. So each peak is a virtual temple. This metaphysical mountain is called the great meru- Mahameru, which forms the basic concept of the Brhadisvara temple of Tanjore. Meru, the mythical mountain is said to be a golden mountain. True to its nature, Rajaraja covered the superstructure of this temple with gold, that made this loftiest golden temple at that time. The images one sees on the upper tiers represented with bow and arrow in their arms are the innumerable Rudras called Sata-rudras, who are said to move in the upper spheres and represent the sun's rays, a representation unique to this temple. This temple also portrays the five forms of Panca Brahmans, Tatpurusa, Aghora, Sadyojata, Vamadeva and Isana, in individual sculptural forms and enshrined in the lower niches. With four sides of the sanctum provided with openings and its height exactly double its width at the base, the lofty tower fulfils all requirements of the Meru type of temple architecture. The Brhadisvara temple locates for the first time in Indian history, the 108 forms of nrtta karanas on the upper storey around the sanctum wall in sculptural form and reflects the concept of cosmic space in which Siva's dance takes place. The available karanas are discussed in this volume for the first time in the light of Abhinavagupta's commentary and also the views of modern scholars. Every structure in the temple is dated with the help of inscriptions. The story is taken through the centuries and its change in meaning and ritual are brought out in this volume which points out what a Hindu temple mean when in full form and through the centuries. The personality of the builder, the role of Rajaguru in planning and guidance and also the names of architects who designed and carved the sculptures and executed the lovely paintings are also furnished in this volume which makes it an invaluable work on the temple.

This book explores the Hindu iconography from the Vedic to recent period in time and space that would dispel many misconceptions The first few articles deal with Agni the fire of Vedas The fire has two inherent powers the consuming heat energy and illuminating beneficial energy which they called on one hand as Rudra and on the other Vishnu Similarly Rudra is like the father and the benevolent energy of the same fire insuperable is called mother devi Parvati the male and the female in one and the same form as Ardhanari Most of the important iconographic visualizations arise from such syncretic forms that are dealt with in this volume For example the concept of Linga or Varaha gives so many layers that are properly focused that would come as revelations At another level some individual manifestations like Andhakasuravadha or Nataraja are rooted in Vedic understanding of darkness and light The writings of some that there was no worship of feminine power in the Vedic age is shown as pedestrian worthy of outright rejection Similarly some hold that the Muruga Kartikeya is exclusive and the earliest god of the Tamil is disproved and shown here as a Sanskrit word Mrgya in Prakrit form The origin of Rama and Krishna and their place in the chronological perspective is given in detail with epigraphical evidence and disproved some of the abysmal ignorance of some professorial claimants Each article with references and notes is thought provoking original and linked to the factual utterances which is absolutely necessary for those who seek proper approach to the subject 230 pp. 155 b/w pls and 33 col pls (illustrator).…
