The third podcast will explore the mythological aspect of temple architecture in India.
A temple is a corpus of extensive Hindu mythology, depicting myths from puranas in mandapas as a representation of secular life, images of gods and goddesses in garbha griha (sanctum sanctorum), and other decorative motifs.
We will further focus on the iconography of Gods, Goddesses, semi-gods, etc., and how their formal attributes have modified over time, while citing examples of specific temples.
Since the podcast is about mythic narratives, we also intend to delve into the comparative angle with world myths.
