About the Book
The Silparatnakosa is a 17th-century Orissan text authored by Sthapaka Niranjana Mahapatra, offering a comprehensive account of Orissan temple architecture. The text describes various temple types, including the Manjusri and Khakara, and includes a dedicated section on sculpture and image-making (Pratimalaksana).
Edited from three palm-leaf manuscripts and richly illustrated, this edition provides both a critical translation and visual documentation of the traditional practices of temple construction and iconography. Although composed centuries after the temples themselves, the work reflects a living architectural tradition and clarifies the terminology, design principles, and artistic conventions of Orissan temple architecture.
Essential for historians, architects, art scholars, and students of Indian fine arts, this hardbound edition preserves a vital link to India’s architectural and sculptural heritage, offering deep insights into the enduring legacy of Orissan temple design.
