Chapter 13 The value of the imagined biological in policy and society

Chapter 4 Constructing Temples, Constructing Power
There is a dearth of archaeological vestiges for Hindu temples prior to the 6th century in the Tamil-speaking South, although we know through literature and epigraphy that they were built at least by the early 5th century. This may be explained by the fact that these monuments were made of perishable material which did not survive the centuries. However, many temples scattered around the holy K…
