Northern India was the setting for the flowering of the Hindu, Buddhist and
Janist cultures, the growth of Islamic civilisation and the foundation of the
Sikh congregation. For this reason, Northern India is today one of the
up-and-coming destinations for cultured tourists. The story of Indian
civilisation is written in its stone: temples, palaces, mosques and mausoleums
recount India's history in the language of art. This guide, thanks to the
extraordinary wealth of photographs, drawings and plans, conveys the passion and
spirituality which these artifacts evoke while illustrating the cultural matrix
from which they arose. COVERAGE INCLUDES: * Terracotta Temples of Bengal *
Golden Temple at Amritsar *
