About the Author:
M. Adinarayana is a passionate explorer and scholar of art and architecture. His travels through villages, towns, and temples have led him to observe and absorb a wide range of cultural ideas. His particular interest lies in the intricate decorative designs found in temples, especially in the North-coastal Andhra region, known for its Kalinga style of art and architecture. Adinarayana’s focus is not just on architectural forms but also on the deep symbolic expressions captured in the carvings of temple members, reflecting the artistic spirit of the time.
Foreword:
Dr. Adinarayana is a wanderer who embarks on journeys to new areas, villages, towns, traditions, and temples. These travels have enriched his understanding and observation of art. His visits to the temples of North-coastal Andhra, showcasing the Kalinga style of art and architecture, significantly shaped his study. Rather than simply focusing on the form of architecture, Adinarayana delves into the elaborate and symbolic decorative designs on the temples' structures, which represent the inner artistic expressions of the era.
