Maheshwari Indian Temple

Tall marble staircases, ornate pillars, and a golden-brass statue all welcome worshippers and travelers to the Maheshwari Mandir, which roughly translates to "Temple of the Great One."

Indian temples come in a variety of styles, but the inner structures are almost always the same. There are two main sections, an inner chamber that houses the deity called the garba griha, and an outer worshipping space called the mandala. Worship typically takes place in the form of a Puja, during which various food items are offered to the deity in a large sacrificial fire.

This map can also be used as a general fantasy temple if you wish to do so.

Download the map for free here.

This map will also be included as part in my 5e Devabhumi setting book, which will be released this year! Devabhumi is an Ancient India-inspired campaign setting, which presents an alternate world that brings the epics and stories of this rich culture to life.

Whenever I've contemplated the recent Canadian MAID policies, my mind has inevitably wandered to Robert W. Chambers' justly revered weird tale "The Repairer of Reputations" and the Government Lethal Chambers that are such a key thematic element therein. I am not going to imply that the Canadian health services have fallen under the sway of the Yellow Sign (although...), but I've always noticed in reading and listening to other moderns' response to the story that there's important period context that gets largely missed. This is understandable - most people haven't read nearly as many fin-de-siècle and Edwardian era 'Scientific Romances' as I have, for the good reason that most of them are really quite bad.

But without historical context, it's easy to miss exactly what the alternate future New York City that the story may or may not be set in represents. It's a whole collection of relatively common Progressive era tropes representing peoples' hopes and fears about the immediate future, arranged in an optimistic (even Utopian) key. The obsession with civic beautification, the gleaming fleets of battleships that are almost an extension of the "good architecture [that] was [everywhere] replacing bad," the optimistic hope that race problems could be settled for all times and peaceably without any then-unseemly 'mixing' (Indian scouts! an "independent negro state of Suanee"! checking of immigration!), a militarism that's as much about pomp & love of regimentation as about actual wars, the "colossal Congress of Religions" that "laid [bigotry and intolerance] in their graves" and "began to draw warring sects together", a love of orderly centralization... This is all the sort of stuff that moderate, bien-pensant Progressives and Fabians of Chambers' day would have cheered on. Even the "war with Germany," involving an unlikely occupation of the Virginia coast, is an optimistic take on the Invasion Story subgenre that was becoming common at the time (the scars it left "had been forgotten in the joy over repeated naval victories, and the subsequent ridiculous plight of General Von Gartenlaube's forces in the State of New Jersey.") It's all of a piece, an expression of boundless Columbian Exposition optimism and faith in Reason and Progress to bring forth an Earthly Paradise.

And so are the Lethal Chambers. They are reasonable, and graceful, and beautiful, solutions to the problem of hopelessness. Reasonably, why should a person not have a right "to end an existence which may have become intolerable to him, through physical suffering or mental despair"? Too, "the community will be benefited by the removal of such people from their midst." And the Chamber is beautiful, placed in a verdant park, decorated with Grecian columns and marble statues, designed to make one's exit from this world as rationally elegant as possible. It's all done discreetly, in the best possible taste.

This is why the story is given this whole setup, why it begins with what seems today to be a very disorienting bit of archeofuturistic world-building. In the context of this world of rational hopes rationally filled, not only is Castaigne's descent into madness more shockingly out of place, but it also represents an irruption into that world of something else, something old and strange and powerful. There is a reason that Wilde & Castaigne invoke the trappings of the archaic medievalism that the Progressive world sought to do away with forever, and a reason why Wilde deals (or claims to deal) in blackmail and conspiracy. All the flotsam and jetsam that, it was hoped, could be swept away like the old slums, bob inevitably to the surface.

As something of a reactionary, I'm inclined to take a political reading of this - "don't immanentize the eschaton!" as the slogan goes. But, like all really good fiction, "The Repairer of Reputations" is about something deeper than politics. I leave further interpretation as an exercise to the reader.

Admission to many museums in the UK are free, so once and a while we drop in to get to see local art. Here are some photos of art with themes of colonization, injustice, and issues of our time at Tate Liverpool.

This photo is of a Palestinian woman in what’s left of her home during the Sabra Camp massacre in 1982. It is by Don McCullin, a British photographer who covered the Lebanese Civil War during his visits in 1976 and 1982. Palestinian refugees fled to Lebanon after the establishment of Israel in 1948 in what was once a part of Palestine. The war in Lebanon led to massacres of Muslim neighborhoods including Palestinians in the Sabra refugee camp.

The late Zarina Hashmi was an Indian-American artist born in India, whose family was displaced by the 1947 partition of India after British colonial rule. While her sister Rani moved to Pakistan, Zarina eventually traveled the world, staying in touch with her sister everywhere she went. “Letters from Home” use these letters from Rani as a basis for the art, as they are written in Urdu and printed along with depictions of blue prints and maps of the places Zarina had lived through the years.

Kader Attia was born in France to Algerian parents, and later grew up in Algeria. Believe it or not, this artwork is made out of food. Specifically, couscous, a staple in Algeria as well as the rest of North Africa. Near the exhibit is a photo of Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier, who applied modernist architecture during the French colonial period in Algeria near the mid 1900s. In this artwork Attia seems to shape buildings in the modernist style, depicting the ancient hilltop city of Ghardaia in Algeria. The buildings are molded in couscous, and cracks and crumbling areas in the buildings could be seen as weathering from both the city’s old age and French colonization.

Torkwase Dyson handcrafted these huge, black structures and placed them in a large dark space on the first floor of Tate Liverpool. Dyson’s abstract works “grapple with the ways in which space is perceived, imagined and negotiated particularly by black and brown bodies.” This installation, “Liquid a Place,” definitely displays this, with these huge statues of what seam like heavy slabs of the darkest marble. They definitely convey the weight of colonization for me, and the artist description of them echoing “the curve of a ship’s hull” got me the most. Tate Liverpool sits in what was once one of Europe’s busiest ports serving the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Lubaina Himid was one of the pioneers of the UK’s Black Art movement in the 1980s. “Carrot Piece” shows a white figure hovering a carrot over a Black woman carrying her own plentiful batch of food and items. The white figure is on a unicycle and wears light make up, conveying ridiculousness or crude entertainment, as if a clown. These are cut-out wooden paintings that are life-sized and was made for, as Himid wrote in her description, “…the moment when you slowly realise that you have learned something quite useful about yourself which proves to be a whole lot better than anything ever offered to you for free.”

Kerry James Marshall is known for his colorful paintings depicting Black people in dark shades. He counters “Western pictorial tradition” and brings forward Black figures in it. This work shows a Black figure wearing a British royal guard uniform, holding a sandwich board advertising a fish and chips restaurant named after a freedman, prominent writer, and British slavery abolitionist Olaudah Equiano. The irony of this art, is that it does not show a place in England. It is a scene in Arizona, where a “London Bridge” was made to attract American tourism.

The Taj Mahal: A Timeless Wonder

Introduction

The Taj Mahal, often referred to as a symbol of love, stands majestically on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra, India. This UNESCO World Heritage Site attracts millions of visitors each year, enchanting them with its architectural beauty and historical significance. In this blog, we will explore the history, architecture, cultural impact, and visitor experience of the Taj Mahal.

Historical Context

The Mughal Empire

To understand the significance of the Taj Mahal, it’s essential to delve into the Mughal Empire, which ruled over much of the Indian subcontinent from the early 16th to the 19th century. This period was marked by immense cultural and architectural advancements, blending Persian, Islamic, and Indian influences.

The Story Behind the Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. She died during childbirth in 1631, leaving Shah Jahan heartbroken. His love for her inspired the construction of this grand mausoleum, a testament to eternal love. The project began in 1632 and took about 22 years to complete, involving thousands of artisans and laborers.

Architectural Marvel

Design and Layout

The Taj Mahal showcases a harmonious blend of architectural styles, primarily Mughal, Persian, and Indian. The complex is set within a 17-hectare garden, representing paradise, with a reflecting pool that mirrors the stunning white marble mausoleum. The central dome, rising to 35 meters, is surrounded by four smaller domes, creating an impressive silhouette.

Materials Used

One of the most striking features of the Taj Mahal is its dazzling white marble, sourced from Makrana, Rajasthan. This marble is known for its luminescent quality, which changes color throughout the day, appearing pink in the morning, white at noon, and golden under the moonlight. Precious stones, including jade, lapis lazuli, and turquoise, were intricately inlaid into the marble, adding to its grandeur.

Symbolism in Architecture

The Taj Mahal is not just a tomb; it embodies various layers of meaning. The symmetrical gardens represent the Islamic concept of paradise, while the central dome signifies the sky and the heavens.

Ticket Information

Visitors must purchase tickets to enter the Taj Mahal. Different pricing tiers exist for Indian and foreign tourists, with additional fees for entry to the main mausoleum. It’s advisable to book tickets online in advance to avoid long queues.

Exploring the Complex

Upon entering the Taj Mahal complex, visitors are greeted by the grand gateway, which offers a stunning first glimpse of the mausoleum.

Conservation Efforts

Preserving a Heritage
