| 520 | |a This paper will look at how literature, in this instance religious literature has been used as a mechanism to construct and claim ownership of a particular space that comes to be demarcated, and ritually sacralised as a temple space. While offering worship in a temple may appear to be about purely religious issues, as being about one's personally defined relationship to one's individually conceived religious reality, we come to see that the shape and organisation of this relationship in the Indian context is in many senses constructed. This paper focuses on a medieval South Indian religious text called the Tiruvilaiyadal Puranam, and how this text is used as a literary device to organise and re-order the believer's religious understanding of the sacred space of the Meenakshi Temple at Madurai, hereafter referred to as the Temple. | ||
