Riassunto

Chary (New School U., New York City) presents a detailed and extensive study of the Bhimesvara temple, devoted to the worship of Shiva, at Draksharama in southern India. He examines the origins of the temple; the mythology surrounding it; and the role it played in influencing the religious, social, economic, cultural, and historical life of the people in the surrounding region. The joint product of royal patrons, skilled architects, and learned Brahmin priests and scholars of Vedic learning, reveals to him not only characteristics of religion and society at various times in history, but only the dynamics of change through the centuries. He includes 15 color photographs. The text is double spaced. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
