Book Description
Northern India was the setting for the flowering of the Hindu, Buddhist and Jainist cultures, the settling of the Islamic civilisation and the formation of the Sikh congregation. The story of Indian civilisation is written in its stone: temples, palaces, mosques and mausoleums recount India's path in the language of art. This guide, thanks to photographs, drawings and plans, attempts to convey the emotions that this art evokes while illustrating the cultural matrix and context of the phenomenon.
