About this title

Synopsis

This volume presents the characteristic traditional architecture of Rajasthani towns and cities: the stone built forts, palaces and havelis, temples, tanks, and kunds, from the 16th century onwards when religion developed the distinctive style of domestic and civic architecture for which it is well known. These articles, written by experts in diverse fields, illustrate how these great and beautiful structures were first conceived, constructed, and inhabited.
