Content:
Jaina Temple Architecture in India is the first comprehensive study of the development and uniqueness of Jaina sacred structures. The monograph analyses temples in the whole of India and outlines clear continuities by covering the period from the early centuries BCE till the present day. It identifies a distinct Jaina approach to the shaping of ritual space, which involves often complex spatial layouts on various superimposed vertical levels as well as conglomerates of interconnected sanctums and building elements on the horizontal plane. These accommodate a multitude of venerated objects and mirror specific Jaina patterns of worship as well as Jaina mythological and cosmological concepts.
