DIVINE PALACES OF SOUTH INDIA Volume 2: The Dancing Temples of Karnataka

In 2005 the author graduated with distinction from De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, with a Masters degree by independent study in South Asian arts. The contents of this book, which make up Volume 2 of two volumes on Indian Temple architecture, are based upon research carried out for her dissertation on temples built under the medieval Hoysala Dynasty of Karnataka. Volume 1 consists of five essays that give an introduction to the art and architecture of South Indian temples. Whilst the original findings and conclusions are intended to be of use to students and researchers, the book will also add an extra dimension for anyone intending to visit southern India or who is interested in sacred medieval architecture. —- ISBN: 9781911317050 | ISBN10: 1911317059 | ISBN-13: 978-1911317050
