The Jagannath Festival and the Aesthetics of India
Abstrak
The aesthetic aspects of the Jagganath festival at Puri are investigated, and it is argued that this remarkable Hindu gathering provides much evidence for a set of overall Hindu artworld constructs. Two foci help us to address the salience of this celebration: the first focal point centers on the importance of Vaishnavism and the various avatars that may be included in devotion, while the second focus reminds us of the nearby site of Konarak, with its globally-known stonework. The strength of the use of color in the festival is also acknowledged. Finally, the work of Rowland, Mishra and Wilkins is cited, and some work of aestheticians on the concepts of representation and symbolism alluded to.
