Full textThis thesis studies the emergence of the cult of Rāma through the development of his iconography in the sculpted decoration of temples from the Vijayanagara era. From the 12th century, Rāma, who until then had been an avatar of Viṣṇu, broke away and acquired a separate cult, with his own worshippers. We wondered to what extent the change in Rāma’s status could be observed in the reliefs in which he features and how studying these reliefs could shed light on this change. Our study is based on a corpus of around 2700 reliefs from 47 temples throughout the territory of the Empire (Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu). Three categories of relief can be identified: narrative cycles, narrative sequences and iconic reliefs. When we compared the means of representation within each category, then between categories, we noted the increasingly important role of iconic images. We observed little difference between regions, but rather homogeneity throughout the Empire, confirmed by our comparison between the reliefs and six versions of the Rāmāyaṇa, which showed that the various regions all favoured the same version. This analysis forms part of a broader study of the role of Rāma in Indian culture and leads to conclusions on the relationship between visual arts and literature, the links between Rāma and the Vijayanagara royalty, and the different ways of representing the divine status that Rāma had, by then, acquired

Full textCette thèse s'intéresse au Samrajyalaksmipithika, manuel tantrique destiné à la royauté sous l'Empire Vijayanagara du début du XVIe siècle en Inde du Sud. Après avoir défini la nature plurielle et inclusive de la religion sous les Vijayanagara, cette étude identifie deux types d'intervention utilisées par la déesse Samrajyalaksmi pour récompenser les rois qui apaisent sa colère: d'abord en les aidant à atteindre un statut divin, ensuite en leur permettant de s'absoudre de leurs fautes (papa) sans limiter leur capacité à poser les gestes violents inhérents à leurs fonctions. Le Samrajyalaksmipithika propose une solution au dilemme de la dépendance du roi et de son infériorité aux Brahmans. Il offre un pouvoir rituel innovateur se traduisant par une puissance politique menant potentiellement au pouvoir impérial (samrajya). Voilà un nouvel exemple des modalités à partir desquelles le pouvoir tantrique fut, et demeure central dans la société indienne, contribuant aux affaires étatiques et royales.

Full textThe archaeological site of Senji (Gingee) stands in Tamil Nadu, in Southern India. Senji is famous for its fortified walls and castles built upon and between the three main granitic hills of the area, which contributed to change this part of the Tamil country History between the 15e and the 19e centuries. Known for its military aspects, the religious architecture of Senji had yet never been under proper and full study. This dissertation tries to make a detailed study of the Hindu stone temples and places of worship in Senji and its close area. The research focuses on the pan-Indian Hindu temples and analyses the existing relation between them and the local goddesses whom places of worship are not systematically built in long lasting materials. Monuments are situated in the original historical context, mainly in the 16e century during Vijayanagara-Nāyaka domination. The history of Senji’s Nāyaka dynasty is also analysed in order to understand the concepts that rules temples constructions à these times, and the use of religious architecture in this troubled and warfare context, serving the purpose of legitimacy of their power on the 16e century. This research also tries to consider Senji as the object of conservation and preservation, and in terms of Indian cultural and architectural heritage

Full textThe aim of this work is to study the paintings of Karnataka from the school of Vijayanagar to that of Mysore. It covers the period from the XVIth to the XIXth century. Our goal was to better understand the evolution of painting in Karnataka during the three hundred years that separate both schools. The only remains of the Vijayanāgar School of Painting can be found in the murals of the Vīrabhadra Temples of Lēpākṣī and those of the Virūpākṣa Temple in Hampi. We discuss these two temples before evoking the school of painting of Mysore through its murals, manuscripts and miniatures. This school is closely connected to King Kṛṣṇarāja Woḍeyar III. Contemporarily to the school of Mysore appeared the school of Surpur, unknown until now. Two unpublished collections of miniatures from Mysore and Surpur have allowed us to better understand the evolution of these schools. Other pictorial achievements present specific developments in the art of Karnataka. We present the mural paintings of Tipu Sultan's summer palace, which stands out clearly from the previous era, as well as the Uddharane manuscript intended for the teaching of the devotees.We have tried to bring together in this work the widest possible corpus of murals, manuscripts and miniatures in order to have a global vision of painting in Karnataka
