Welcome
Architecture-Indian
India-Perhaps as no other country in the world-has an astonishing range of religions, peoples, geographical wonders, and traditions.This vast, eclectic culture is the next challenge in their successful series of lifestyle books.
This is the India of fabled maharajas' palaces-many of them now transformed into luxury hotels-but it is also the India few visitors ever see; merchant family homes from the era of the great trading routes, houseboats moored side by side on peaceful lakes, stone farmhouses in the foothills of the Himalayas, colorfully painted mud huts, former havelis, the dark, templelike home of a Brahmin family, and even a 20th-century house designed by Le Corbusier.
Applying their meticulous gift for observing the lifestyles of countries around the world,Suzanne Slesin and Stafford Cliff introduce an India that is an exciting collage of colors, textures flavors, seasons, and panoramas.In more than 700 full color photographs, the mysteries as well as the enduring majesty of India come to life as a miraculously preserved treasure.
