Numerous descriptions in Sanskrit texts on ritual and architecture describe in detail these building consecration ceremonies and reflect the importance attached to these rituals. Surprisingly, this topic has so far not received the attention it deserves given its essential role. Basing herself on both the Sanskrit texts, as well as the archaeological finds, Anna A. ?l?czka in this thorough study provides readers with a comprehensive view of the three main temple construction rituals in the Hindu tradition of South and Southeast Asia. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 26. 606 $aHindu temples$xDedication$xHistory 606 $aConsecration$xHinduism 607 $aIndia$xAntiquities 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHindu temples$xDedication$xHistory. 615 0$aConsecration$xHinduism. 676 $a294.5/38 700 $aS?la?czka$b Anna A$g(Anna Aleksandra)$0948446 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455314903321 996 $aTemple consecration rituals in ancient India$92144003 997 $aUNINA
