South Indian Shrines

1922

The Mocenzie Collection on page 16 says :—" There is one division of the Sanskrit hooks which is in a great degree of local origin and interest that of the Mahatini us the Sthala or local puranas the legendary histories of celebrated temples and objects of - pilgrimage and especially of those of the Dekkan which arc exceedingly numerous. [...] From what I have just stated it will be seen that the commencement of the true era of the Hindus that is to say of their KalYuga dates from about the same time as the epoch of the deluge—an event clearly recognized by them and very distinctly mentioned by their authors who give it the name of the yala-pralayam or the Flood of Waters. [...]. According to the author just quoted the birth of our Saviour falls on the fifty-eighth year of the Chinese cycle while it coincides with the forty-second year of the 4-lindu cycle. [...] The iconoclastic rule of the Alahommedans caused the artist families of the Hindus who had previously enjoyed the patronage of the State to be deprived of all State encouragement and be denounced as infidels and heretics. [...] With foreigners at the head of the State Indian master-builders were deprived of their employment and when the British began to adopt first the Palladian then the Gothic and finally the Saracenic style of architecture nuw in vogue the noblest of the Indian arts was degraded to a common trade.
