About Visnu Temples of Kancipuram (Second Edition)

Kanchipuram was the important capital of north Tamilnadu for a long period — from the first-second century CE to the end of the 17th century. It was a beautiful city laid out in the form of a lotus, according to the poem Perumpanarrupatai. It was admired by the world as a place famous for its festivals and noted for its temples. Through the ages, it has been the abode of many religious leaders who devoted their lives to the religious uplift of the people.This well-illustrated work presents a history of the Vaisnavite temples of Kanchi, focusing on the history of the ancient temples from the Sangam Age onward, the many legends, myths and other accounts that refer to it, and its location and building. It provides a detailed account of some major temples of the city supported by numerous pictures of the temples that cover various aspects of each — the entrance and other parts of each temple structure, its architecture, and its artistic engravings particularly its sculptural beauty. It delves into the Vaisnava tradition for concepts and ideas underlying the construction of the sanctum and the sub-shrines, and portrayal of divine forms on the walls, pillars and other parts of the temple. There is a detailed study of the sculptures in the main walls of the temples and the main deities in the shrines. It also examines the many inscriptions found in the temples to offer insights into the historical, religious, social and cultural value of the temples.The volume is bound to interest a host of readers, particularly scholars and students of Indology involved in the study of the cultural traditions of south India and its religious art and architecture.
