O ovoj e-knjizi

Golden Shrines explores the captivating relationship between gold and the divine across various cultures and religions. It delves into the historical and religious significance of gilded temples, sacred altars, and monuments, examining how gold serves as a potent symbol of purity, enlightenment, and power. Readers will discover how the construction of these resplendent sites reflects not only spiritual aspirations but also earthly power, shaped by historical events, patronage, and trade routes. The book offers a unique perspective on the enduring human fascination with both material wealth and spiritual transcendence.

The book systematically progresses, beginning with an introduction to golden shrines across different faiths, including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity. It then examines the theological importance of gold, the historical and socio-political factors influencing the construction of these sites, and the artistic and architectural techniques employed. By synthesizing these perspectives, Golden Shrines reveals how these sites represent a convergence of spiritual yearning, historical circumstance, and artistic achievement.
