Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-This large sized book is a memoir on the architecture in Dharwar and Mysore. It is evident that while the Carnatic did not belong to the great Hindoo kingdom of Dehli, nor to that of Magadha of Bengal, nor to the Pandoos of Madura, nor wholly to the Cholas of Kunchi (though they are believed to have acquired, at one time, portions of the southern provinces, as far northwards as the Tumboodra river), it must have possessed its own local dynasties, which, though untraceable even by legend, gradually advanced through successive phases of Hindoo, Buddhist, and Jain religions, to a final adherence to that modern Brahminical or Pooranic faith, which followed the extinction of the Buddhist, shortly before the period of the Christian era. There are two parts in this book, and they notice the dynasties of the Karnataka before the Muslim invasion: among the dynasties mentioned are the Chalukayas, the Kala Bhuryas, the Yadavas, etc. The second section is on the western Hindu dynasties after the Muslim invasion of the Deccan; noticed in these sections are: Vijayanagar, Mysore, Hurpunhullee and Chittuldurg. There is a map that accompanied the text. This book is a reprint of the 1866 edition. About the Author :-Colonel Philip Meadows Taylor, CSI an administrator in British India and a novelist, made notable contributions to public knowledge of South India. Though largely self-taught, he was a polymath, working alternately as a judge, engineer, artist, and man of letters. He studied the laws, geology and the antiquities of the country and became an early expert on megaliths. While on furlough in England in 1840, he published the first of his Indian novels, Confessions of a Thug, in which he reproduced the scenes which he had heard about the Thuggee cult, described by the chief actors in them. This book was followed by a series of tales, Tippoo Sultan (1840), Tara (1863), Ralph Darnell (1865), Seeta (1872), and A Noble Queen (1878), all illustrating periods of Indian history and society, and giving a prominent place to the native character for which and the native institutions and traditions he had a great regard and respect.
