Pictorially stunning

Without being overwhelming with lots of text, this book presents 5000+ years of Indian history with excellent photographs, charts and quickly digestible background guides.

Luscious book

This is not meant to be a light, carry it with you travel guide - but it is truly a beautiful book (both the pictures and the binding). It is a large, heavy book, so be aware that it might not fit on many bookshelves. For us, it was worth making room for!

A wonderful resource

A beautiful book with a really lovely combination of descriptions and pictures. The pictures are breathtaking without being flashy and the cover is gorgeous.

India

This is an excellent book. It is full of imformation and has abosolutely gorgeous picutres. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn about India or is planning a trip to India.

Beautiful, sweeping overview

This is not a travel guide, but rather a beautiful, sweeping overview of a country with a rich heritage. A great introduction to the many aspects of the Indian culture, covering various regions, landscapes and practices.
