________________ JAINISM IN TAMILNADU: ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY Ekambaranathan The book details extensive new data on Jain religion, from ancient to almost the last quarter of Common Era under a vista of art and archaeology from a collection of material that was never presented before in a single source. It deals with history of Jainism in Tamilnadu, before and after the Bhakti movement of the Saivites and the Vaishnavites in Southern India. Although the book may be read at one level as an intellectual property, it is portrayed as a representative of Jain school manifested by time and life over a period of two thousand years. The mythology or the major marvelling theme and categories of the religion of the Sramanas has never been presented to the western reader, compared to the exhaustive presentation carried out on the Saivites or the Vaishnavites whose historical position on the land do not figure before Jainism. .
