My dissertation analyzes a sculptural relief series of the Tiruvilayadal Purana, or "the Divine Play of Shiva," from the Shiva Nataraja temple at Chidambaram dating to the mid-seventeenth century in south India. As a gesture of political and religious patronage, the seventeenth-century Nayaks added these sculptural panels to the twelfth-century Shiva Nataraja temple at Chidambaram. The narrative of the Tiruvilayadal illustrates the acts of the deity Shiva as the bridegroom of the local goddess Minakshi from the Nayak capital of Madurai, Tamil Nadu. In sharp contrast, the temple at Chidambaram was originally dedicated to the male deity of Shiva as Nataraja, the bachelor and dance master at Chidambaram, who traditionally had no relationship with the local goddess of Madurai. In my dissertation, I review how this south Indian text is manipulated into a specific temple program at Chidambaram so as to fulfill the competing agendas of both Chidambaram and Madurai by emphasizing certain episodes, omitting some scenes, and hiding other narratives within theatrical scenes.

520 $a My dissertation analyzes a sculptural relief series of the Tiruvilayadal Purana, or "the Divine Play of Shiva," from the Shiva Nataraja temple at Chidambaram dating to the mid-seventeenth century in south India. As a gesture of political and religious patronage, the seventeenth-century Nayaks added these sculptural panels to the twelfth-century Shiva Nataraja temple at Chidambaram. The narrative of the Tiruvilayadal illustrates the acts of the deity Shiva as the bridegroom of the local goddess Minakshi from the Nayak capital of Madurai, Tamil Nadu. In sharp contrast, the temple at Chidambaram was originally dedicated to the male deity of Shiva as Nataraja, the bachelor and dance master at Chidambaram, who traditionally had no relationship with the local goddess of Madurai. In my dissertation, I review how this south Indian text is manipulated into a specific temple program at Chidambaram so as to fulfill the competing agendas of both Chidambaram and Madurai by emphasizing certain episodes, omitting some scenes, and hiding other narratives within theatrical scenes.
520 $a The study of the Tiruvilayadal in south Indian art has not been the focus of any major scholarship due to the lack of a complete English translation of this text, from the seventeenth-century Tamil original. In this manner, my study involves the identification and analysis of two previously unknown primary sources: the Tiruvilayadal Purana and the sculptural panels at Chidambaram.
520 $a For my dissertation, I have translated this entire text and have identified all the narrative scenes portrayed at Chidambaram. From this analysis, I have come to the conclusion that the theatrical scenes found at Chidambaram were added by the later Nayaks to stress the importance of their local goddess Minakshi in a symbolic, secretive manner that would not take away from the male-oriented worship of Shiva Nataraja at this temple. By selecting this narrative, these two Shaiva sites, however, became connected religiously and historically in the seventeenth century, and these two different traditions of Shaivism were streamlined into one dominant tradition. In this way, the unique condition of these Tiruvilayadal sculptures as later additions on a historically important South Asian monument make this research a significant contribution to the study of Indian art and literature.
