This book presents the fascinating picture of the changing pattern of Indian architecture from the earliest Buddhist structures to the magnificent caves, from the first attempts at temple building to the gigantic gopuras of the south and the masterpieces of Indo-Islamic building. Beautifully illustrated with thirty-four photographs, the book traces the grandeur of ancient Indian architecture, the influence on it of Islamic architecture and its meeting with Western architecture.
