Description
The temples of India (Buddhist, Hindu and Jain) are unparalleled in their contribution of direct sensuous appeal and complex formal structure. Starting from basics and setting the architecture in its historical, cultural and religious context, this book explains the principles and processes underlying the designs of monuments. It traces the origins and formation of the two classical languages of Indian temple architecture, and their extraordinarily varied development. Lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and analytical drawings throughout, the book surveys the continuing vitality of these systems up to the present, and explores the lessons that can be learned from them by architects and artists today.
