MeisterLeiden [Netherlands] ;Boston Brill20101 online resource (188 p.)Brill's Indological library ;v. 35Description based upon print version of record.90-04-18617-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Salt range and Indus temples -- Sites, history, and comparative chronology -- Archaeology at Kāfirkoṭ and problems of platform extensions -- Original variations in tenth-century architecture -- Archaeology and ethnography.In Pakistan's northwest, a sequence of temples built between the sixth and the tenth centuries provides a missing chapter in the evolution of the Hindu temple in South Asia. Combining some elements from Buddhist architecture in Gandharā with the symbolically powerful curvilinear Nāgara tower formulated in the early post-Gupta period, this group stands as an independent school of that pan-Indic form, offering new evidence for its creation and original variations in the four centuries of its existence. Drawing on recent archaeology undertaken by the Pakistan Heritage Society as well as scholarship from the Encyclopaedia of Indian Temple Architecture project, this volume finally allows the Salt Range and Indus temples to be integrated with the greater South Asian tradition.Brill's Indological library ;v. 35.Studies in the Hindu architecture of ancient PakistanHindu architecturePakistanSalt Range RegionHindu architectureIndus River ValleyHindu templesPakistanSalt Range RegionHindu templesIndus River ValleyElectronic books.Hindu architectureHindu architectureHindu templesHindu temples726/.1450934Meister Michael W635021MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458897703321Temples of the Indus2129211UNINA
