**Bundle Up Canada & Save On Postage** 11.5 X 9.75" 136 pages (1996) Weight over 1 Kg. Grey cloth hard cover with silver titles, without flaw. No dust jacket, small black remainder line on bottom edge, otherwise very clean and well bound without flaw. Raghubir Singh's unique photographs of Tamil Nadu express the tradition of temples, the richness and variety of life, as well as change and continuity in the environment and life in general. This southern state is dramatically different than any other part of India. On the whole Tamil Nadu was spared the massive destruction of temples that took place in North India during the 14th-century. They rise tall over miles and miles of paddy and palm, giving distinction to the rites and rituals around India's oldest traditions. The Tamil language is as old as Sanskrit and the state's sense of science, mathematics, music, art, literature and philosophy reaches into India's earliest antiquity. This incredible collection of photographs show the timeless beauty of Tamil Nadu. Seller Inventory # 581134
