Temple Art of Chamba: Stone Temples, Sculptures and Fountain Stone Slabs

 
S M Sethi (Author) Hari Chauhan (Author)
Synopsis

This book attempts to survey and document in a systematic manner almost all the stone temples of Chamba. This will satisfy the enquiries of many researchers, outside visitors and the public in general who are interested in cultural heritage of Chamba particularly in the temple architecture and especially in those temples for which no information is available.

The first part of the book deals with stone temples. These temples were personally examined by the authors several times and have revealed some important inscriptions which are being published here for the first time. The authors found that the lesser known temples too yielded important information and presented different temples types which needed regrouping and reclassification. Where ever possible the work has been authenticated by the line drawings, ground plans, photographs and epigraphical records etc.

The second part of this book deals with stone sculptures of this region. The stone sculptures which formed an integral part of the temple architecture have been discussed under the relevant temple heads. Yet there are many loose and detached sculptures with which this region is studded. These have been brought under observation and grouped on the basis of iconography.

The third part of this book covers the fountain stone slabs which form an important aspect of the cultural heritage of Chamba.
