MASH PODCAST: INDIAN ART HISTORY - EPISODE TWO: THE ARCHITECTURE AND TERRACOTTA OF INDUS
Nov 23, 2020
Episode 2 takes the dear listeners to the immaculate urban, rural and slum architecture of the Indus Valley Civilization. It links the study of their architecture to the study of their society. Interestingly, the episode takes a bend to the terracotta figurines and other excavations at the Harappan sites, which once again throws some light at their society’s ritualistic practises creating an aura of knowledge around the perceived genders of their society. While a lot of speculation has been made, a lot of thought arrows have been projectiled into the proto-historic study of the Indus Valley people, factual uncertainty still prevails. Your host, Ayushi Chaurasia rather dwells on this uncertainty a bit extravagantly. Image credits: National Museum, New Delhi
