Cecil explores the sacred geography of the earliest community of S?iva devotees called the Pa?s?upatas. This book brings the narrative cartography of the Skandapura?n?a into conversation with physical landscapes, inscriptions, monuments, and icons in order to examine the ways in which Pa?s?upatas were emplaced in regional landscapes and to emphasize the use of material culture as media through which notions of belonging and identity were expressed. By exploring the ties between the formation of early Pa?s?upata communities and the locales in which they were embedded, this study reflects critically upon the ways in which community building was coincident with place-making in Early Medieval India. 410 0$aGonda Indological Studies;$v21. 606 $aArt$xHistoriography 610 $aOther non-Christian religions 615 0$aArt$xHistoriography. 676 $a705 700 $aCecil$b Elizabeth A.$0929186 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910404067103321 996 $aMapping the Pa?s?upata Landscape$92088302 997 $aUNINA
