The story of the Vijayanagara Empire is one of triumph, cultural richness, and eventual decline. Its legacy continues to inspire and intrigue, offering valuable insights into a significant period of Indian history. Through Nayona’s camera lens of Hampi, we glimpse the architectural and cultural zenith of an empire that once dominated South India and traded precious gems with other major civilizations of the world. The journey of an Indian teenaged girl through the ruins of Hampi serve as a powerful reminder to the young and vibrant generation of Millennials and GenZ of the empire's achievements and its lasting impact on Indian heritage. Her interactions with the multitude of tourists, visitors, historians and archaeologists who thronged the place, only pointed to the fact that Hampi is not only of interest for its historical prestige and magnificent ruins, its remarkable landscapes, mythological and religious associations and ongoing archaeological investigations, but its contributions to World History, restoration work and the reclamation of a Lost Kingdom make it an outstanding destination of international significance.

The remarkably accomplished Alexander Greenlaw, probably the first photographer to reach Vijayanagara in South India in 1855, is known principally through his monumental paper negatives of this great Hindu city. Greenlaw, an army officer, explored the vast territory, capturing the temples, shrines, palaces and pleasure pavillions with his camera as well as recording the dramatic landscape that surrounds the ruins of this once majestic capital. While Greenlaw's response to the architecture within its spectacular natural setting is the principal focus of this book, the work of subsequent photographers at the site is also explored. Presenting the work of William Pigou, Edmund David Lyon, Nicholas & Co. and others, the role of photographers in documenting and preserving the site is examined through a comparative approach that seeks to present a comprehensive overview of commercial, archaeological and other documentray activities at Vijayanagara in the 19th century. This volume highlights the extraordinary achievement of a small group of talented individuals through a stimulating combination of text and images, which together offer a fresh vision of this magnificent site.

Download The Arts of India, Southeast Asia, and the Himalayas at the Dallas Museum of Art Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In recent years, the Dallas Museum of Art has expanded its collection of South Asian art from a small number of Indian temple sculptures to nearly 500 works, including Indian Hindu and Buddhist sculptures, Himalayan Buddhist bronze sculptures and ritual objects, artwork from Southeast Asia, and decorative arts from India's Mughal period. Artworks in the collection have origins from the former Ottoman empire to Java, and architectural pieces suggest the grandeur of buildings in the Indian tradition. This volume details the cultural and artistic significance of more than 140 featured works, which range from Tibetan thangkas and Indian miniature paintings to stone sculptures and bronzes. Relating these works to one another through interconnecting narratives and cross-references, scholars and curators provide a broad cultural history of the region.
