Abstract:

This thesis examines the complex interplay between colonial modernity and Sakta (goddess-centered) devotion in the context of an elite family of zamindars (landholders) in Bengal. One consequence of colonialism in Bengal was the efflorescence of overt Sakta religiosity among Bengal's elite. Religious practice, supposedly "protected" by the colonial order, became the site where indigenous elites expressed political will and, to an extent, resisted foreign domination. I argue that the zamindars of Bansberia in the Hugli district of Bengal were creative agents, engaging and resisting the various

Abstract:

This study examines the situation and activities of Hindu temple women (devadasis) in the 9th-13th centuries, as revealed in Tamil inscriptions. These temple women, unlike their male counterparts or the devadasis of more recent times, were not primarily identified as temple servants, with professional expertise or ritual responsibilities, but were instead defined with reference to a particular status, predicated on relationship with a temple. This relationship was secured through the donations that temple women made to temples. In the course of the Chola period, the status of "temple woman" be

Abstract:

This dissertation is an analysis of discursive productions of Kālīghāṭ, a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Kālī in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. It is the most famous temple in what was once the capital of the British Empire in India and what is now India's third largest city. Kālīghāṭ has a reputation for being ancient, powerful, corrupt, and dirty. This dissertation aims to discover how and why these are the adjectives most often used to describe this temple. While there are many stories that can be told about a place, and many words that can be used to characterize it, these

Abstract:

This research study asks how the North Indian community in Vancouver gives meaning to its Hindu temple. It examines how community identity is expressed through the built environment of the temple. In order to understand the meaning attributed to the Hindu temple by the North Indian community, I undertook an ethnographic case study of a Hindu temple in the city of Surrey, Greater Vancouver Region. The study is also a personal journey through which I have come to understand the built environment as an expression of identity. The research study claims that the meaning of the built environment

Abstract:

This is an examination of the various ways in which Hindu religious traditions are being adapted and reinterpreted by people of Indian descent, now living in Edinburgh. It looks in particular at the development of worship in the context of an Edinburgh Hindu temple (Mandir), and how those involved in the temple project are constructing the notions of 'community' and 'Hinduism' around themselves. The Hindu population of approximately one thousand are divided into various groups and factions - particularly in terms of regional identity (mainly Panjabi and Gujarati) and migration history (approxi

Abstract:

Cette thèse est une monographie du temple de Sarikat Mocan, dédié au dieu-singe Hanumân, à Bénarès (Inde du Nord). Il s'agit de rendre compte des modalités de construction de la religiosité à travers l'étude de l'atmosphère du temple. L'atmosphère que l'art a les moyens de transcrire et que se contentent de décrire les observateurs pour donner à voir, celle que les dévots incitent à ressentir, doit se concevoir comme une construction locale efficace. Etudier le temple à travers son atmosphère, c'est décentrer l'étude de la religiosité en amont du rite et la replacer dans le contexte émotionnel

Abstract:

This dissertation examines Deccan India’s earliest surviving stone constructions, which were founded during the 6th through the 8th centuries CE and are known for their unparalleled formal eclecticism. Whereas past scholarship explains their heterogeneous formal character as an organic outcome of the Deccan’s “borderland” location between north India and south India, my study challenges the very conceptualization of the Deccan temple within a binary taxonomy that recognizes only northern and southern temple types. Rejecting the passivity implied by the borderland metaphor, I emphasize the role
