500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
General note | Chariots of Stone:The Message of Rajput Chattris explains the complex cultural interplay between myth, architectural form, economics, caste order, and death mores integral to the creation of the unique Rajput achitectural form - the Chattri. These structures, scattered in the thousands over the sands of Rajasthan, began as markers to commemorate the deaths of Rajput warriors. They have a history that conceptually reaches back to the Vedic era and a physical precursor that emerges along with temples in early Puranic times. Additionally, Chattris, like temples, derive their form from mythology and symbolize Hinduism's three worlds - earth, space,heaven. Chariots of Stone is thoroughly documented and supported by data derived from chattri death markers, symbolic chattri sculpture, comparative photography, and by interviews with Rajput aristocracy, Brahmin astrologers and priests. As a result, Chariots of Stone makes a significant contribution to understanding Rajput warrior culture and architecture |
