A good reason why people writing about India/Indian history/Indian arts/sciences should know Indian languages!
Is there any reason to believe this hypothesis?

Is there any record where such restrictions really existed in major temples?

(Krishneshvara referred to here is the Ellora Kailasanatha temple)

There is quite a bit of difference between a work of grammar and a work of poetics.

Aha ;-) Whata flowery language. #justsaying Image
I wonder who the audience for the book are. "loud rituals", "pouring clarified butter into flames" "pecking order" "political power".hmm.
Such rituals exist even today-political or non political, including clarified butter or not. Suffice to say nothing specific to Kings. #AKST Image
Wonder if the writer has seen anything abt temples of Talakadu, hundreds of years before Chalukyas.
If temporary altars are expensive & difficult undertakings even for kings, were structural and permanent temples a cheaper alternative? Need comnon sense before writing!
