Hardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. The Cult of Jagannatha: Myths and Rituals offers a new approach to Orissan ethnography. In sharp contrast with dominant explanations, centred on tribal influences and the history of aryanisation, this book provides extensive evidence on the importance of religious orthodoxy. The transition from the coastal to the inland regions of Orissa is characterised by sharp demographic and sociological discontinuities. Such regional differences are probably a reflection of aryanisation. Ethnological accounts have most commonly relied on the historical reconstruction of this process. It has been assumed that native communities exercised a decisive influence on the traditions that flourished in the delta plain, especially those related to its vital centres-the city of Puri and the temple of Jagannatha. Myths and rituals show that sacrificial symbolism is at the core of Puri's religious system. Explicitly associated with an inaugural asvamedha (the Vedic horse sacrifice), the building of the great temple is still seen as a transformation of the brick-fire altar. These correlations are further supported by an impressive web of orthodox representations, both Vedic and Hindu. This acknowledgement of orthodoxy takes us back to the so-called singularities of local traditions. How to interpret the iconographic "specificity" of Puri's deities? What status should be attributed to the Sudra ritualists of the great temple? The present book provides new answers to these old questions. Puzzling as it may appear, the "strangeness" of Orissan ethnography is a particular-yet extremely coherent-expression of Indian traditions.

Hardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. This book seeks to analyse the kaleidoscopic images through which Krsna-Jagannatha has been represented by European travellers and scholars. Recalling the ancient relationship of the Syrian Christians to Hindu culture, Part I brings to centre stage commonly ignored parallelisms between Jagannatha and Thomas the Apostle. Such analogies are clearly suggested in the Syrian Christian traditions collected by Europeans from the law Middle Ages. Athanasius Kircher (1601/2-1680) made abundant use of these sources, albeit grossly distorted, for his alleged reconstruction of the diffusion of Christianity in Asia. Since the 18th century, the cult of Jagannatha was accommodated by European scholars to their conceptions of history. The foundation myth of the cult was interpreted in this perspective. In the process, as shown in Part II, meaning has been drastically deflected. A very different picture emerges when several versions of the Jagannatha myth, unhampered by the inherited models of interpretation, are brought together and compared. Part III attempts to capture the coherent unity arising from the intricate fabric of interconnected motifs that can be found in the narratives. The book provides access to this inner unity and sheds new light on the problems engendered by persistent efforts to ensure the viability of historical reconstruction.
