Indian Knowledge Traditions: Sacredscapes and Socio-Cultural Transformation explores India’s civilizational heritage as a living continuum that connects spirituality, geography, and social life. It examines how sacred landscapes—temples, monasteries, pilgrimage routes, and tribal settlements—embody the dynamic relationship between tradition and transformation. Through interdisciplinary analysis, the authors reveal how religion, art, philosophy, and ecology have interacted for millennia to shape India’s plural identity. The volume highlights the role of temple culture and monastic institutions such as Sringeri Mutt and the Jagannath tradition of Puri, viewing them as centres of learning, art, governance, and community life. It traces the sacred networks of the Dwadasa Jyotirlingas, Shakti Peethas, and Char Dham sites, situating them within a broader geography of devotion that unites India’s diverse regions. Tribal cultures, festivals, and indigenous knowledge systems are presented as vital sources of ecological wisdom and social resilience. Integrating the philosophy of the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and the framework of cultural sustainability promoted by India’s National Education Policy 2020, the book demonstrates how ancient wisdom remains relevant to contemporary issues such as globalization, environmental ethics, and cultural diplomacy. Rich in historical depth and contemporary insight, it bridges scholarship and practice, offering readers a holistic understanding of India’s sacredscapes as both heritage and inspiration.
