内容説明
In collaboration with Heike Bill Published in association with Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts. Sri Govinddevji, a family deity of Ambers Kachavaha dynasty, now dwells in Jaipur, along with his consort Radha. His first appearance, however, he made in Vrindaban where he came to reside in the great temple built for him by Raja Mansingh and consecrated in 1590. Govinddevji was a symbol of Mansinghs power and became a focus of political interaction of the Mughal Emperor and the Kachavahas and, hence, an object of imperial and royal patronage. In the end of the seventeenth century, Govinddevji and Radha, accompanied by Vrindabans tutelary goddess, Vrndadevi, were taken to the Amber territory to protect them from damage by the hands of iconoclasts. This was in the latter part of Emperor Aurangzebs rule when, with the crisis of the Empire, regional Hindu kingdoms became increasingly self-assertive. Thus, that move from Vrindaban to Amber, the patrimonial land of the Kachavahas, also marked the, Kachavaha rulers assertion of regional power and identity.
Govinddevji and his consort eventually came to reside in the palatial temple in the precincts of the City Palace of Maharaja Savai Jaisinghs new capital, Jaipur. The rise of the deity to the status of a symbol of regional power also meant the rise of Gaudiya Vaishnavism and the deitys custodians to power in the Kachavaha territory. The documents published in this book span more than three and a half centuries. In their own style which is that of fiscal and other official papers, they tell of the fortunes of Govinddevji. Apart from their importance as testimonies of religious policy, they also permit insight into the administrative and diplomatic usage of the Kachavaha chancery, an aspect which the author has attempted to highlight.
