Studying two surviving medieval monuments in southern Rajasthan—the Ambikā Temple in Jagat and the Śri Ékliṅgjī Temple Complex in Kailāshpurī—the author looks beyond their divergent sectarian affiliations and patronage structures to underscore many aspects of common practice.

The Hegemony of Heritage enriches theoretical constructs with ethnographic description and asks us to reexamine notions such as archive and text through the filter of sculpture and mantra. 2020-12-15T13:54:29Z 2020-12-15T13:54:29Z 2018 book 9780520296336 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/43742 eng application/pdf n/a external_content.pdf University of California Press University of California Press 10.1525/luminos.46 649691.0 10.1525/luminos.46 72f3a53e-04bb-4d73-b921-22a29d903b3b b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780520296336 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) University of California Press Knowledge Unlatched open access |
