Through these analyses, Gillet brings forth a better understanding of the functioning of the minor dynasty of the Paluvēṭṭaraiyars whose little kings often appear in the inscriptions of the temples, as well as the interactions between the temples and their patronizing communities. The small size of Paluvūr with its hub of still-standing monuments permits an exceptionally clear overview of the possible relations between distinct temples, allowing readers to unpick complexities related to temple sponsorship, organisation, and functioning. The study of Paluvūr also reveals how these religious monuments-accruing wealth but, in exchange, enabling donors to accrue merit and power-became a place for the fabrication of political discourses and powers, specific social configurations, and religious practices.
Valérie Gillet is a specialist on South India. In 2007, she joined the École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO); she was posted in the Pondicherry Centre of the EFEO between 2007 and 2016, and has been based in Paris since 2017. Gillet works primarily with material culture and Tamil epigraphy of the first millennium found on the territories of Pāṇḍya and Pallava dynasties, covering almost the entire Tamil-speaking South.
