MASH PODCAST: TIMELESS TEMPLES: EPISODE 9: THE EARLY PATRONS OF DRAVIDA ARCHITECTURE: MONOLITHS BY PALLAVAS​

  • サマリー

  • In this episode of the podcast, we will briefly examine monolithic structures from the Pallava dynasty, which became precursors to future Dravida temples. Continuing along similar lines, we will also explore these monolithic structures to understand their functions and purposes.

    As you might recall, in the previous episode our discussion focused on the Udayagiri caves — highlighting how a monolithic structure became a social, cultural, and political emblem. Due to royal patrons and their secular support for various faiths, there was a fundamental evolution of art and architecture in the Indian subcontinent. Artistic production and development from the onset of regional dynasties relied primarily on two factors: patronage and religion. Specifically, architectural expansion often began with the rock-cut method, producing devotional monolithic structures as well as sculptures.

    Tune in to listen and expand your knowledge about the histories behind the temples in India and their architectural wonders. Streaming now on Spotify and Apple Podcast. (Head to our website for more details)
