520			_aThis book is a colonial history of the Hindu temple. Despite the bewildering diversity of places, materials, and structures described by the term “Hindu temple”, a particular understanding of these edifices emerged during the imperial encounter in India from 1800 onwards. Deborah Sutton presents the defining preoccupations through which colonial understandings of the temple took shape: wealth, sensuality, depravity, and devotion. Her analysis draws on a wide range of literary, visual, and bureaucratic sources to encompass religious, cultural, archaeological, imperial, and art histories.
