The city of Banaras is often extolled as an eternal Hindu sacred center. Yet its temples are far from timeless, revealing instead a sharp awareness of both past and contemporaneous architectural forms circulating across India and beyond. This lecture explores the new developments in temple architecture and patronage in Banaras during the transitional period between the Mughal and the British Empires, when the city became the site of ambitious building projects by emergent power holders from local and afar.
This Lecture is part of the Postgraduate THE INDIAN TEMPLE Course
