There is much beyond what can be seen through the eye and this book has succeeded in providing a holistic understanding of the multi-layered fabric of the Udayesvara temple of UdayadityaParamara. It is indeed intriguing that the Paramaras were involved not only in building temples but also in formulating the canons for their architecture. As a result, we come across a unique style of temple architecture which was not seen before the ascendancy of the Paramaras. In this context, one often encounters representations which are enigmatic both in terms of iconography and the underlying philosophy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book contains an intensive as well as extensive study of the Udayesvara temple based on primary textual sources including prominent Silpasastras and Saivagamas. It attempts to integrate art and architecture with religion and philosophy. A relevant context has been provided for the architectonic and sculptural analysis of the temple through an exemplary discourse in religion and metaphysics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aryan Books International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49526487777584,"sku":"AryanBooksInternationalDrg_9788173055614","price":2880.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/aryan-books-international-book-default-title-the-udayesvara-temple-art-artchitecture-and-philosophy-of-the-saiva-siddhanta-40145230168368.jpg?v=1775957298","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-udayesvara-temple-art-artchitecture-and-philosophy-of-the-saiva-siddhanta","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
