About this ebook
This classic book contains a wealth of information on Indian architecture during the Buddhist and Hindu periods, and will make an excellent addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the subject.

In India man’s ideals have found expression in numerous noble monuments showing that few countries possess a richer architectural heritage. To the student the value of these productions needs no emphasis, for from such achievements it is possible to reconstruct much of the past and to visualize the social and political conditions of the country as phase succeeded phase, and one period merged into another.
