Visual Grandeur of the Empire: A study of Vijayanagar mural paintings and their cultural significance
Authors
Dr. Mohanrao B Panchal
Abstract
A
stronghold of South Indian culture, the Vijayanagar Empire (1336–1646 CE) is
well known for its magnificent mural paintings and architectural wonders. The
stylistic elements, themes, techniques, and iconographic narratives of
Vijayanagar murals are examined in this essay, with a focus on those found in
temples such as Tadipatri and Lepakshi (Veerabhadra Temple). The study looks
into how religious devotion, mythological narrative, and sociopolitical
identity are reflected in these murals. To place Vijayanagar within the larger
South Indian mural tradition, a graphical chart classifies regional mural
styles.
