A
History of Indian Architecture
India's Architectural
Heritage
 One
definition of a great civilization is the magnificence of its
architectural legacy, and India is surely among the foremost.
The country is dotted with the remains of ages gone by, many
world famous like the Taj and Qutab Minar, and some still
cloaked in obscurity, off the tourist circuit, waiting to be
'discovered', but architectural gems nevertheless.
In a perfect
world, we would all be traveling, exploring and writing for a
living, seeing monuments, marveling at the ineffable genius of
builders long dead, imagining our world in the age of kings,
dreaming of empires long gone and their pomp and glory.
For most of us,
however, this is wishful thinking. Fortunately, technology
comes to our aid. Through the combined media of television,
books, radio, and recently the web, we can look at images,
hear words, and experience that which we perhaps will never be
able to see, feel or touch. Thus, our first attempt will be to
explore, as vividly and clearly as possible, India's immense
built heritage. |
