Typology of Indian Temples

- Typology, for the architecture of Indian temples, is not just a matter of classification, but the basis of its origins in early wooden buildings. It is also a creative principle, by which new temple designs are invented by combining existing types. This talk explains the origins and development of the main traditions of temple architecture in the Subcontinent. The lecture was originally intended for a module, which never saw the light of day, on the Government of India’s Epathshala platform. Its sequel is • Evolution in Indian Te... Evolution in Indian Temple Architecture.
i love architecture from all around the world and i really appriciate people like you teaching for free, its not a career choice but i love learning about it!
This is what makes CZcams. A learned scholar appears in my room & teaches me so very much, thank you. If per chance you read this I have a lot at forgotten Cambodian temples on my channel, I film ancient temples in Cambodia I put up two videos a week every week & there is backlog until 2022, it is my passion. Maybe you would like to see some of them. Look for Forgotten Temples Cambodia. Also, any advice would be very welcome. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much sir....This was something I was looking forward in this quarantine time
In old age with time for learning once again available to me, your videos enable me to understand the intricacies of temple architecture , widen my awareness and my wonderment and for the clarity of step by step explanation with illustrations my deep gratitude.
You've discussed everything to the smallest detail! Wow, kudos to you sir! Thank you for this reference :)
I agree. I am truly grateful 😌😌
Dear Adam! Thank you so much! Looking forward to more of your lectures.
BEST EVER , SPECIAL THANKS FOR THIS TYPE OF VIDEO SIR
Namaskaram Prof. Hardy. Firstly, Thank you for such a wonderful presentation. For many like me, who admire temples, but never really understood the structural ideology and language of temple architecture, this is a god send. Specially, in this lockdown this is very informative. Whenever time permits could please make videos on "Hoysala Temples" (Even the new temple project that you are spearheading in reviving the tradition), the kakatiya temples, and some temples that are still to be studied ( Devunigutta, Veetrirundha Perumal Temple at Veppathur). Would love some videos on chola and Vijayanagar temples as well. with your work and the work of Ananda Coomaraswamy on Hindu iconography, my next visit to a temple will be a splendid one. Thank you so much for bringing this knowledge to people like me. Hope to see more great videos from you.
Namaskaram Mol. So glad you liked them. It might not be quick, but I am certainly hoping to do a lot more little talks and shall do my best to do the topics you mention.
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 keep uploading videos sir
I love your work Adam. Where would you put the temples of Bengal (i.e. Kalighat Kali temple), Assam (i.e. Kamakhya) and Kathmandu Valley (i.e Pashupatinath), in this categorisation???
That was awesome - truly unique talk on a topic that is very poorly understood and very little is known about thanks
Thank you Sir, for this wonderful presentation. I still didn't understand several things. Could you please suggest a book that gives the basic information on Indian temple architecture.
Please make a video on bhumija temples and how Bhojeshwara temple was designed to look like after completion.
Shall do that some time!
TYSM
Namaskaram Sir
Awaiting your video on Kerala temples
Thanks a lot, tat was really interesting!!
Can't thank you enough for this sir! But thank you anyway. How would you describe the typology of temple forms from Kerala, coastal Karnataka and Goa? Pillars and walls do tend to have dravida images or mouldings. The vimana with tiled roof or metal roof is Phamsana? In some cases it is Apsidal too. Can we consider this as a separate mode within the Dravida language? or Should be consider this as outside Dravida and Nagara ?
Hello Arjun. Yes, I think they're outside that kind of classification, but, as you say, they have a lot of Nagara details.

@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 keep uploading videos sir, please
Eagerly waiting for your new video Sir..........kindly tell us when u r going to upload ur new inspirational video
Soon I hope! I'm doing it for pleasure with nobody forcing me, which is nice (for me), but I'd like to do lots, bit by bit.
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 You can also compose small videos........it will help us a lot Sir
Hello Sir, Do you have any idea how they are built. Can you describe the architecture of Ellora Caves?
Thanks a lot Sir
Dear Sir, I have one clarification. At 1:00:14 in your video, you mention the temple types by southern texts. Here you have marked Dravida with circular shikhara. I have read at other places that octagonal shikhara is taken as Dravida by southern texts and this was what I was following till now. Therefore I would like to clarify the same with you. My reference is coming from Dhaky M A (1977). The Indian Temple Forms in Karnata Inscriptions and Architecture. Abhinav Publications. New Delhi. p 17. Kindly clarify my doubt.
Hi Saurabh. You are quite right, thanks for pointing it out. I said it wrong! Circular or eliptical for Vesara, octagonal or more generally polygonal for Dravida,
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 Many thanks for clarification sir.
Thankyou so much sir...if you have any more information regarding temples architecture and conservation of the temples. Please do help me.
Once thankyou so much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Well, there are a few publications you can download here (click on 'publications'). Best wishes.
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 Good evening sir...thanks for replying me
Sorry I m try but not able go on those publication. Please sir u send name of those I will research on Google
Thanks sir
Sir, can you cite the source you used for making this video....your video was nice: just wanted to read once more for better clarity of what you told.
Various things I've written, that you can find at www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/1254490-hardy-adam - click on 'publications' (some downloadable). Some time soon I'll put online a text that goes with the video. Two 'Indian Subcontinent' chapters I wrote recently for the new Sir Banister Fletchers History of Architecture might be a good bet, but not open access.
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 thank u sir...
This is a serious study of History of Architecture and will advise the thumbs down idiots to stay away and watch comedy not serious studies of History & Architecture .
@@sanjaysrivastava1100 didnt recall asking for ur advise...
Thanks for Chezarla
My pleasure!
Main gate architecture for hindu temple any one knows about it. Please send. Me. Link etc
Do we have eka-ratha temples? When we define rathas, only the projections are counted or offsets also counted? I.e. a tri-ratha shrine has one middle projections and two offsets on either side or a tri-ratha shrine has three projections and two offsets in between those?
Only projections, not the recesses. Where there are no recesses, just the offsets or steps. Yes, lots of 'eka-ratha' (though I don't think they're called that), i.e. when the walls are simply flat, with no projections.
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 Many thanks sir
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 a follow-up clarification sir. In case we have a vimana wall that has five projections. Middle bhadra is projected most, corner karna and intermediate projection are projected at the same levels. In this case, will the temple be under tri-ratha or pancha-ratha?
@@msg4saurabh More usual in Dravida temples, isn't it? I think we should call it pancha-ratha because of the five elements (projections).
@@adamhardyindiantemplearchi6512 Many thanks sir. I want to share a picture of jagamohana of Varahi temple Chaurasi in Odisha, you can see the picture here photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPoGLyAjU3FjcdGUSVR9slMjmnTWsVGjJjtvMOBcNa5yAVDpCC_LwJ3Wmz_GcVYTw/photo/AF1QipOcQKWM2U4xxqbZqtoiVJWnTvPIqDfQQXw4EhM?key=M29XcDRqSDFmNVBpdUdtOXB2T0hHNjZGOFJVMERn. I want to understand what is the pattern of this jagamohana, should it be tri-ratha or sapta-ratha?
were the old temples ever adorned,or painted(..not that they need to be,)
F
All the old temples of India were built by Ashoka and all the temples are Buddhist temples and are occupied by Brahmins after ashoka sasan . And there are very few people who know the real history. (All people please stand with the truth)
bruh
lmao
Lmfao 🤣.. bhai jake history padh le.... J@hil kahi ka
