A significant number of temples were rebuilt at this time into this form, along with the definitive establishment of a vocabulary that drew from the European Renaissance and Baroque, as well as the Deccan Sultanates and the Mughals. These developments happened against a backdrop of the rising influence of the dominant Brahmanical castes of Goa, especially the Saraswats. Not only was the control of most temples now formally in their hands, this was also a time when these castes, long the pillars of the Estado da Índia, were consolidating their forces and finding new opportunities for employment and prosperity. These were all surely connected to the propagation of a new and cosmopolitan architecture that reflected their wealth, influence, modern-ness, and also Goan-ness. But by the 1940s, Indian nationalism was in the air, especially amongst these elites, and their temples were found to fall short of the new mood. The result was to reject Europe and embrace the Indo-Saracenic, the ‘local’ style popular in British India. Thus began the demise of the Goan temple, which would accelerate after the Indian annexation of Goa in 1961.The cosmopolitan architecture that had once flaunted the success and worldliness of its Goan patrons had now become an embarrassment. This essay is about the changing architecture of Brahmanical shrines in Goa, and specifically about the very fleeting popularity of the Goan temple, a barely-recognised architectural type of pronounced heterogeneity. The main issue discussed here is the chronology of the rise and fall of this architectural type, specifically the fact that archival images of the temples from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries indicate that it may have originated in the nineteenth century, spread across Goa by the turn of the century, and began a decline in the 1940s from which it is yet to recover, even as Brahmanical temples proliferate at an exponential rate. This timeline challenges the prevalent idea that this temple architecture originated with the chronology new questions regarding the context and for the probable rise and undoubted popularity of this type the nineteenth century, and also for its decline soon afterwards. here both rise fall context nationalism—the first Goan Goa. garba cud tower","PeriodicalId":42853,"journal":{"name":"Kritika Kultura","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83640249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the interaction of these two broad socio-economic groups, those who labor and those who do not, was and is fundamental to Goan politics, scholars have not yet evolved a methodological framework for understanding these relations. This absence, the paper claims, is a particularly serious problem for Goa studies, and one that can be tackled by thinking closely about categories such as bhatcar and mundcar . The terms bhatcar and mundcar are defined capaciously, making room for a range of servitudes and labor regimes as well as different ways in which the masters live as bhatcar s and the servants as mundcar s. This paper uses Vimala Devi’s Monsoon to formulate broad generalizations about the master-servant relations in Goa. The paper engages with the historiography of labor and caste in South Asia as well as Goan historiography to deepen the understanding of labor relations and culture in Goan society. . His research interests include the history of commodities and imperial and non-imperial polities in early modern South Asia. Menezes is interested in the role of South Asians—kings, merchants, and laborers—in the making of a global world (or ‘globalizing world’) since the 1500s. His research straddles the European and non-European spheres of South Asia’s globalizing history and tries to view these seemingly different components as forming a part of the same political economy. Occasionally, he writes about Goan literature written in Portuguese, Konkani, and Marathi.","PeriodicalId":42853,"journal":{"name":"Kritika Kultura","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78311669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
