Few countries possess a richer architectural heritage than India, a
country whose buildings are rooted in history, culture, and religion. As
a results of India's global discourse with other regions around the
world, there have been many influences that have been assimilated into
its architecture, producing unique, varied and lively results. This
fantastic volume walks the reader through India's history, both
architecturally and culturally, exploring its different styles of
buildings and providing interesting insights into their origin and
evolution. "Indian Architecture" is highly recommended for those with an
interest in architecture and Indian history alike. Many vintage books
such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in
mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
introduction on architecture.
