Abstract

The article Tracing a Line: Guruparamparā in the Murals of Ālvār Tirunakari by Anna Lise Seastrand examines temple murals that depict the guru lineage within Śrī Vaishnavism. Through visual analysis, Seastrand explores how these murals articulate theological continuity, spiritual authority, and sectarian identity, merging sacred narrative with artistic representation.
