The book locates monuments in their social & cultural context & views them as religious architecture. The shrine was not only a place of ritual, but also a centre for religious festivities & discourses on ethics & moral values. The temple or the mosque thus evolved as a crucial link between the ruling elite & the community & through its wider network extended the religious domain beyond political frontiers. With the establishment of colonial rule in South Asia during the 19th & 20th centuries, the relationship between the shrine & its community was radically transformed. This book takes the reader through the gradual metamorphosis in the character of religious sites from being culturally pluralistic to a monotheistic religious identity. This interesting book highlights the genesis of the multi-religious identity of monuments in India. ...
