Book Description
For long the architecture of India has been a mysterious, fascinating and enigmatic subject. Inaccessible to the general reader, India Architecture has long held attraction. For the first time, Dr. Ashish Nangia’s handbook on the subject elucidates the mysteries of Indian Architecture in a way to make it easily understandable to Western readers. Combining in a single volume the great ages of Indian Architecture, the book offers an illustrated history that is supplemented by superb text, narrating the topic from as early as 4000 BC to the 21st century.
No other country has such an unbroken diversity of architecture, combining three major world religions and influences from all over Asia and the West.
