Hinduism introduction

This program provides insights into the practice of Hinduism through the architecture and art of India. Circling from Varanasi to Mamallapuram and Khajuraho and back again, it spotlights carved-stone shrines such as the Krishna Mandapam, the Panch Rathas, and the Dharmaraja Ratha; the ancient Shore Temple, recovered from the Bay of Bengal; and the Kandariya Mahadev Temple, with its exotic-and erotic-exterior panels. An aarti ceremony on the banks of the Ganges and the rarely filmed and highly symbolic cremation process are captured as well.

  • "Hinduism, a spiritual way of life for hundreds of millions of people living in India, is little practiced throughout the rest of the world. In this program, Hans Kung traces the diversity of traditions and convictions making up that venerable religion. Rarely mentioned in the interreligious dialogue because it has neither an ecclesiastical organization nor overall binding doctrines, the planet's third-largest religion nonetheless has much to offer a world in need of wisdom from every quarter."
  • "Part of a six part series exploring six major world religions and the ways in which they have expressed the spiritual yearnings of the faithful in art and architecture. Christy Kenneally begins his search for Hinduism as it is expressed in art and architecture in Varanasi, the oldest inhabited city in the world. A microcosm of Hinduism, it has always attracted a large number of worshippers and pilgrims, some of whom come to Varanasi to die and be cremated on one of the pyres set up along the banks of the Ganges. From Varanasi, Christy travels south to Mamallapuram, to visit the temples, caves and rock sculptures there. The last stop is Khajuraho in Central India with its temples built by the Chandella kings."@en

In addition, Siva Subramanian tours viewers through Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham, Maryland."@en
