“Collecting Devotion: Temples to Jinas,” is visualized as a photo exhibition of Jain temples across the world. The exhibition is intended to showcase the development of Indian temple architecture through the lens of Jain temples. It will at the same time focus on the study of religion through material and ritual culture and an integral part of the exhibition would be interaction with and involvement of the local Jain community. This is a collaborative project led by Professor Claudia Brown (School of Art) and Postdoctoral Scholar Nandita Punj (Religious Studies, SHPRS).

This is a IHR-Herberger grant.
