Anotace knihy

The book Elysian: Churches of Travancore covers a detailed architectural study of four important churches of Southern Kerala, India. Church architecture is a rich and varied field that reflects the changing needs, beliefs, and artistic expressions of Christian communities throughout history. From the simple basilicas of the early Christians to the complex and dynamic structures of contemporary designs, each period and style contributes to the diverse tapestry of sacred architecture.

The specific architectural characteristics of Kerala church architecture are its wooden carvings, sloping tiled roofs influenced by the climate, altar designs often incorporate elements of local culture, and façade deigns incorporating elements like gable roofs, arches, pinnacles and statues. This book covers an in-depth study of all these aspects with illustrations and analysis.

The architectural heritage of Travancore is a rich cultural and historical legacy. With its coverage over four major churches, the book now bears testimony, the first in the series dedicated to documenting of Travancore churches, amply discussing with its fine details the architecture and history of four iconic churches: St. Joseph's Metropolitan Cathedral, CSI Church Maruthoor, Carmel Hill Monastery, and Christ Church Palayam. The different styles of architecture in each of these churches represent the convergence of diverse cultural influences that swept across this land over the centuries.
