This book offers a detailed illustrative account of the most significant monuments of Bihar, Tamilnadu and Odisha States of India. It showcases the rich heritage of India spanning from prehistoric era to the medieval era. It starts with the description of the rich legacy of powerful kingdoms in Rajgir and the ruins of one of the greatest ancient international university in Nalanda, travels through the magnificent stone art of the mighty pallava dynasty in Mahabalipuram and Kanchipuram and reaches its culmination in the splendid temples of Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark. The author’s approach has been to visit the concerned locations to get the feel of the place. The details have been collected onsite and from other authentic sources. The unique aspect of this book is that it covers the legends, history, art and architecture of these places which are interspersed with striking photographs of the important features of the monuments. The whole effect is of walking through the history and architecture of these sites. The delicate balance of pictorial journey ensures that this book will be a great souvenir and a great guide for any visitors to these magnificent places.
Review:
A very well researched book.
The best thing about the book is that it is based on the facts and evidences and not on emotional responses. In ancient times n numbers of gigantic and beautiful temples and heritages with splendid architectural construction were built and some were unfortunately demolished by the foreign invaders.For those who love to have their mind wonder about the golden era of Indian history where little is known about the heritages/ temples of India. This is very interesting book to read. Book is a detailed illustrative account some of the significant heritages monuments of India.
