The Rajarajesvaram (Brithadisvara), The Royal Temple Of The Cola Monarch Rajaraja I, Was The Greatest Monumental Undertaking Of The Cols. The Inscriptions On Its Walls Are A Veritable Registry Of Administrative Details. The Author, Dr. Geeta Vasudevan, Has Undertaken An Indepth Analysis Of These Inscriptions And Examined The Pivotal Role Of The Royal Temple In The Economic, Social, Religious And Political Affairs Of The Empire. She Convincingly Puts Forth The Argument That The Royal Temples Under The Middle Colas Were Instruments Of Imperial Power And Helped To Enhance And Consolidate Cole Hegemony Over A Vast Empire Extending Over 1000 Kms From Andhra In The North To Northen Sri Lanka In The South.The Thesis Is Also The First Serious Attempt To Bring Out The Differences Between Bhakti Temples (Or Temples Sanctified Through Holy Associations) And Royal Temples (Or Royal Chapels Of Kings); The Reasons The Former Have Survived Almost 1000 Years As Places Of Worship While Many Of The Latter Are Languishing As Archaeological Monuments.

This book investigates how the material culture of South Indian courts was perceived by those who lived there in the pre-colonial period. Howes peels away the standard categories used to study Indian palace space, such as public/private and male/female, and replaces them with indigenous descriptions of space found in court poetry, vastu shastra and painted representations of courtly life. Set against the historical background of the events which led to the formation of the Ramnad Kingdom, the Kingdom's material circumstances are examined, beginning with the innermost region of the palace and moving out to the Kingdom via the palace compound itself and the walled town which surrounded it. An important study for both art historians and South India specialists. The volume is richly illustrated in colour.

Along rivers in Bali, small groups of farmers meet regularly in water temples to manage their irrigation systems. They have done so for a thousand years. Over the centuries, water temple networks have expanded to manage the ecology of rice terraces at the scale of whole watersheds. Although each group focuses on its own problems, a global solution nonetheless emerges that optimizes irrigation flows for everyone. Did someone have to design Bali's water temple networks, or could they have emerged from a self-organizing process? Perfect Order--a groundbreaking work at the nexus of conservation, complexity theory, and anthropology--describes a series of fieldwork projects triggered by this question, ranging from the archaeology of the water temples to their ecological functions and their place in Balinese cosmology. Stephen Lansing shows that the temple networks are fragile, vulnerable to the cross-currents produced by competition among male descent groups. But the feminine rites of water temples mirror the farmers' awareness that when they act in unison, small miracles of order occur regularly, as the jewel-like perfection of the rice terraces produces general prosperity. Much of this is barely visible from within the horizons of Western social theory. The fruit of a decade of multidisciplinary research, this absorbing book shows that even as researchers probe the foundations of cooperation in the water temple networks, the very existence of the traditional farming techniques they represent is threatened by large-scale development projects.
