Description
A study on the royal contribution and patronage of Indian music, which happens to be the major theme of this volume, has been attempted in a comprehensive manner. The period of study ranges from the second century B C to the present century, and covers most the regions of India.
Contributions of more than seventy royal scholars and patrons have been taken up in this work, e g Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar, Ettendra Maharaja, Gonvinda Dikshita, Haripala, Krishnadevaraya, Mahendravarman, Rana Kumbha, Serfoji, Shahaji, Swati Tirunal, Somesvara, Tulajai, and Vidyaranya.
Two separate chapters have been devoted to the works of King Shahaji and Swati Tirunal Maharaja of Travancore. A new theory on the identification of the much publicized Kudumiyamalai musical inscription has also been attempted.
