Opening Kailasanatha
The Temple in Kanchipuram Revealed in Time and Space
«
"[W]orks to reimagine how the temple may have been experienced—“how the monument lived” (p. 15)—in the eighth century... Kaimal aspires to address the temple in its entirety—from its architectural plan, to the inscriptions and sculptures, to the superstructure—seeing it as an evolving monument that is contin-ually being transformed. Kaimal’s unique contribution is that she reveals patterns that are more or less consistent across every carved surface and throughout the temple compound."

"Padma Kaimal leads the reader through this temple complex and uncovers the many patterns and pathways available for experiencing Shiva and Pallava worldviews...One major contribution of this study, and there are many, lies in the new conceptual frameworks it offers for understanding the dynamics between art and its patrons, makers, and users."
