Are you a general reader or pilgrim on a religious and spiritual journey? Are you someone that is curious about historical aspects and local legends of a temple? This book, “Temples of India: Ancient, Medieval and Modern” helps you in answering those and takes you on a religious journey across India. Several ancient temples are currently decayed. However, Hinduism has stood as a great spiritual, religious, and moral force for over 2000 years in India and some countries of the Asian continent. “Temples of India: Ancient, Medieval and Modern” helps you uncover your curiosity about our temples that are rich in history. I have attempted to cover several hundred temples, some with extensive details and others briefly. To help the readers navigate easily, this book is organised with individual chapters dedicated to each state in India and focuses on the temples of 29 states of our country, especially ancient and medieval. Some states are covered extensively due to their rich history and existence of Hindu temples.

In analyzing the parallels between myths glorifying the Indian Great Goddess, Durgā, and those glorifying the Sun, Sūrya, found in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, this book argues for an ideological ecosystem at work in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa privileging worldly values, of which Indian kings, the Goddess (Devī), the Sun (Sūrya), Manu and Mārkaṇḍeya himself are paragons. This book features a salient discovery in Sanskrit narrative text: just as the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa houses the Devī Māhātmya glorifying the supremacy of the Indian Great Goddess, Durgā, it also houses a Sūrya Māhātmya, glorifying the supremacy of the Sun, Sūrya, in much the same manner. This book argues that these māhātmyas were meaningfully and purposefully positioned in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa, while previous scholarship has considered this haphazard interpolation for sectarian aims. The book demonstrates that deliberate compositional strategies make up the Saura–Śākta symbiosis found in these mirrored māhātmyas. Moreover, the author explores what he calls the "dharmic double helix" of Brahmanism, most explicitly articulated by the structural opposition between pravṛtti (worldly) and nivṛtti (other-worldy) dharmas. As the first narrative study of the Sūrya Māhātmya, along with the first study of the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa (or any Purāṇa), as a narrative whole, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of Religion, Hindu Studies, South Asian Studies, Goddess Studies, Narrative Theory and Comparative Mythology.

India will just be a mere geography without its religious and spiritual ethos combined with moral values and civilization. If Bharat is known for its spiritual accomplishments and philosophical roots, one has to gratefully acknowledge the role played by its hallowed places of worship, holy rivers and magnificent mountain ranges which have inspired people for thousands of years. In particular, temples contributed in no small measure to Bharat's spiritual enlightenment, serving as a beacon to the rest of humanity. Every temple in this holy land has a story to tell, a legend to elevate our spirits and is a sacred space for all of us to experience inner joy. One can find the contribution of so many saints and rishis who devoted their entire life to many places of worship. In olden days, temples served as a great center for enriching all facets of human life—be it spiritual training or yoga; be it education; be it poetry and literature; be it fine arts and sculpture. There are thousands of fascinating temples, with great historical and spiritual backgrounds, spread all over the country. These temples can be divided into many groups, finding mention in innumerable scriptures. Which are they? Where are they located? This book is an attempt to collect and curate and tabulate information in brief which will certainly answer some of the queries a prospective yatri may have. All the information in the book was collated after personal visits to these places by author.

Land grants were issued on a large scale by the Chaulukya and Vaghela rulers from c. 900–1350 CE to religious institutions in Gujarat. A study of these inscriptions are a valuable source of ideology and society prevalent during this period. These charters or land grants have been studied extensively by the author. The changes are valuable in understanding the transformation and proliferation of subsects in religious belief and the Varna system in Western India and particularly in Gujarat.

The incidences narrated here are faced by the common man in India in his day-to-day routine life.He does not have time to react to it. His "no reaction" attitude eventually became known to the perpetrators of the atrocities. His distress, agonies, worries are overshadowed behind his efforts to survive. he is at the receiving end in most of cases. The medical professionals, bureaucrats, politicians, advocates, judiciary, NGOs, social workers, traders, MNCs and others all trying to derive any kind of benefits from him. But his trust in human beings is intact even though he faces various atrocities, his faith still not shaken. His conflicts are usually with other common man or with the other categories of people who knowingly or unknowingly create favorable or unfavorable situation for him.Usually unaware of the strategies hatched out against him, he is a darling of the political system before elections and an ignored one thereafter. He watches the things taking shape, understand their meanings, aware of their repercussions but waits for others to take lead before reacting.Here no imaginary characters narrated, just to give it tale form some changes are made to relate them and convert to tale form.
