Abstract: *Indian Temples and Palaces: Great Buildings of the World* explores 2,000 years of Indian art and architecture, emphasizing the cultural, political, and social influences that shaped iconic structures. The book delves into twelve key buildings, including the Ajanta temples, Konarak’s Black Pagoda, Delhi’s Red Fort, and the Golden Temple in Amritsar. It also examines the Viceroy’s House as a symbol of British imperialism. With nearly 200 illustrations, including twelve full-page color plates, the book provides valuable insights into India’s architectural diversity, complemented by a glossary, index, and further reading suggestions.
