Vol. 1 "is supplementary to my 'Indian architecture: its psychology, structure, and history' [i.e., V. 2] which [deals] with the Muhammadan and British periods, but it has a wider scope as a study of the political, social, religious, and artistic aspects of Indo-Aryan civilisation."-- Pref.
Indian art and architecture is a very wide field in itself to study.There are many types of architectural and art forms found in India. This book is an attempt to trace Indian art and architecture in a simple way. This book starts with an introduction of architecture because it is important to understand what architecture is and what types of architectural styles are there.After this introductory chapter on architecture, this book has many other chapters like Indian art and architecture, types of Indian architecture, Hindu art and architecture, Buddhist art and architecture,Ilamic art and architecture,Jain and Sikh architecture etc.A separate chapter traces the philosophical content of Indian architecture and it concludes with a chapter on contemporary architecture.This book is an endeavour in providing students with sound information on Indian art and architecture and we expect that this work will be appreciated.
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.
