{"product_id":"har-har-gange-rekha-rao-9798867142360","title":"Har Har Gange: Depiction of Ganga's Descent in Indian Temple Architecture","description":"River Ganga, nurturing the infinite creatures of creation, is considered the most sacred river and a purifier in Hinduism. She is described in the literary expression of the 108 epithets of Ganga Shata Namavali, the phrases of which are depicted in the temple sculptures. The multiple figures depicting the narrative panels of Gangavatarana, meaning the \"descent\" of the celestial river Ganga from the heavens to the Earth, are correlated with literary expressions. This profusely illustrative book explores the glorious episode of the Descent of Ganga in the panoramic rock reliefs of Mahabalipuram and the mono-scenic sculptural representations of the different styles of temple architecture of the medieval period. The chant of 'Har Har Gange' associated with the socio-religious rituals associated with the Ganga, unravels Bharat's cultural and spiritual heritage interwoven with the Ganga. This book proves beneficial to art lovers and followers of Hinduism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rekha Rao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798867142360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.15d","brand":"Rekha Rao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48996755079423,"sku":"9798867142360","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/har-har-gange-rekha-rao-9798867142360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
