Overview of INDICA Course Introduction to Temple Architecture
India is a land of enormous cultural heritage. There are various significant elementsthat have kept this spark alive for various centuries. Hindu Temples have been an active character of Indian cultural heritage and one of the most illustrious aspects of Indian art and architecture. Temples have been conceived in India for many centuries as a sentiment towards the Divine with a perfect blend of geography, planning principles, ornamentation, crafts and other vibrant elements. The regional variation across the country in the past has added something prodigious to the idea of temples.
Our upcoming INDICA Course will offer a historic and cultural overview of Hindu temples with a special emphasis on art and architecture. It will provide a deep insight into the various tangible and intangible aspects of the Hindu temples in India.
We invite you to explore more about the course in this overview webinar where the faculty will take you through the various aspects of the course for you to make an informed enrolment decision.
We are organising an open session where our faculty will provide an overview of this upcoming course. This event is open to all; prior registration is necessary.
We look forward to your participation. Do feel free to recommend it to like-minded learners.
