Paper Title:
Critical analysis of the contribution of power for making Temples a significant aspect of Cultural History - A case study of Badrinath Temple in Colonial India-1815-1941
This paper is designed to study rural space, especially the religious context is prone to social and cultural biases. The perception of this rural space has a lot in common with the historical perspective which has often been dominated by the colonial narrative of progress and development. However, from the present perspective, the works of anthropologists, ethnologists and other sociologists have largely contributed to the understanding of rural space and the folk cultural practices. Once the focus shifted from the colonial perspective towards rural areas and people, the public landscape of the region started to become visible. The cultural history of a region captures both the popular and official perspectives. In order to get an understanding of this process, the focus of this paper is on the religious architecture of Uttarakhand and depends on the temple structure, the place where the temple is situated, and the ways these structures are interpreted. The Uttarakhand region is one of the best examples of a land where the public space is culturally permeable. The city of Haridwar is located on the banks of the Ganges River and is endowed with many religious structures and popular religion. The presence of the Ganga River and the presence of many sacred caves around the city are the main culprits of the region, which compel the people to visit these places and worship. Thus, the region of Uttarakhand is a place where the popular and official expressions of culture co-exist. When we look at the temples of Uttarakhand, it becomes more visible that the folk culture, while passing through various stages, always maintained the centrality of the deity and their relationship to space. Every one of these temples plays a significant part in defining the cultural identity of the people who eavesdrop on the presence of deities, deities, their cults, and religious symbols. The temple is always the representation of a local perspective.
