About the Book
The Archaeology of Bhakti is a major two-volume scholarly work that investigates the material, epigraphic, and architectural evidence of devotional traditions in South Asia. Focusing on the sacred cities of Mathura and Maturai, the study explores the dynamic interplay between royal patronage and local expressions of bhakti. Through inscriptions, temple structures, iconography, and archaeological data, the authors trace the development of devotional practices across regions and periods. Enriched with extensive black-and-white illustrations, the volumes offer a comprehensive understanding of how political authority, sacred geography, and community devotion shaped religious landscapes. This set is an indispensable resource for scholars, historians, and researchers engaged in South Asian archaeology, temple studies, and the historical study of bhakti traditions.
