The Pallava Dynasty ruled parts of southern India from 275 CE to 897 CE, with their capital at Kanchipuram. Major rulers included Mahendravarman I and Narasimhavarman I. The Pallavas patronized arts, literature, and the development of Dravidian architecture. They introduced rock-cut and structural temples, with the Kailasanatha Temple in Kanchipuram being their greatest architectural legacy. Considered the largest temple built entirely of stone, it features ornate carvings and 58 smaller shrines around its walls.

The Pallava architecture shows the transition from the rock cut temples to the stone built temples. The earliest examples of the Pallava art are the rock cut temples of the 7th century AD, while the later examples are of structural temples built in 8th and 9th century. The lasting monolithic temples known as rathas and mandapas provide superb skill of sculptors of Pallava period. The monolithic temples (Eg: Five rathas) gave way to structural temples like the Shore temple in Mammalapuram.

Lalitankura-Pallava-Griham is one of the two cave temples situated in the Rockfort complex in Tiruchirappalii, the other being a Pandya Cave shrine. Excavated in the early 7th century by Mahendra Pallava has a beautiful Gangadhara relief. The sculpture as well as the 8-stanza poetry has teasing double meaning, bringing out the multi-facetted personality of the king.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Once when a Chinese monk XuangZang
visited the regions of Pallava dynasty he
reported that there were 100 Buddhist
monasteries and 80 Buddhist temples in
Kanchipuram.
This shows that though they practiced
Hinduism, they had respect towards other
religions.
7. Born to the daughter of a Naga King

He was then lost in a shipwreck and then
found with a twig of a Tondai (also called

Which later explains that the first pallava king was
born to the Brahmin Ashvatthama and a Naga
Princess.
9. Education & Literature
The Pallavas were a great patron of learning and their
capital Kanchi was an ancient center of learning.
The most famous educational institution Ghatika attracted
students from all over the world.
It is also said that many scholars studied in Kanchi which
even includes:
The founder of Kadamba dynasty, Mayurasarmam.
(Studied Vedas)
The buddhist writer, Dinganaga who in later years
became the head of Nalandha University.
The great sanscrit scholar- Bharavi
10. Art & Architecture
Developed the art of excavating temples
from the rock.
Dravidian style of temple architecture
began.
There were three stages of development.
13. Stage-2
Narasimhavarman 1 introduced the
Monolithic Rathas and Mandapas.
Mono means One; Lithic means Rock.
This mean that the entire structure is built
using one Single rock.
They were seen in Mamallapuram.
14.
15. Stage-3
Rajasimha introduced the Structural
temples.
The temples those that are built using
soft sand rocks.
One of the famous monument of that
king is the Kanchi Kailasanatha Temple.
18. The Kanchi
The Pallavas had their powers over Kanchi during the 7th to
9th century when they established supremacy over their
southern rivals.
They established their territory extending from the Krishna
in the north to Cauvery in the south.
Kanchi was also home to the famous 6th century poet
Bharavi who wrote the Kiratarjuniya . Hsuan Tsang, the
Chinese-Buddhist monk, scholar, traveler and translator
who visited Kanchi during the 7th century, wrote glowingly
about the splendor of the city and its intellectual wealth.

The Kailasanatha temple is the largest
and the most ornate temples in India.
It is the oldest of the other temples.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva.
This was earlier known as Raja-
Simheshwaram.
20. This temple looks more like a chariot that descended
down to earth.
This Sandstone structure is enclosed within a highly
decorative wall having 58 shrines.
There is also a Lingam of black color inside the sanctum.
The rear wall of the sanctum is adorned with the
somaskonda panel.
The vimana rises over the sanctum like a pyramid.
The Pallavas were very fond of Lord Shiva, their main
motif is the Somaskonda panel depicting Shiva & Parvati
along with their son Karthikeya. (Sa-Uma-Skanda mean
Shiva withh Uma and Skanda.)
They picturized Shiva as a playful child as well as a family
man.
23. Depicting Shiva…

Complexation of Rising Sun/Coral.
Matted hair with a crown of Ganges with Crescent.
Wears a Patra and Makara. (Kundals in Left and
Right ear respectively.)

and they contain images of Shiva.
Whole of their exterior contains sculptors of Lions, Nandis, Shiva and
other deities.
27.
28. The Gopuras
The Gopuras were not an essential feature of
the early temples.
At the Kailasanatha there is just a suggestion of
a Gopura- dwara.
It was only by about 11th century that tall,
colossal and overwhelming Gopura emerged as
a unique feature of the South Indian temple
architecture.
29.
30. The Uniqueness..
The Kailasanatha temple is perhaps the biggest
sandstone temple structure in the world.
Among the ancient temples in Kanchi, the Kailasanatha
is the only temple whose structure has not been
meddled with or re-constructed.
It still retains its pristine form and structure. It’s another
unique feature is the 58 devakulikas (mini-shrines) that
run round the main temple.
