Book Synopsis

An exquisite collection of artefacts, sculptures, and historically significant treasures from across India. If the captivating bronze dancing girl of Harappa denoted sophisticated early civilisation, the stunning Sanchi Stupa symbolized the peak of Buddhist religion in India.

If the world-renowned Taj Mahal was a testament to the wealth of the Mughal empire, Tipu''s Tiger, an intricate, almost life-sized mechanical toy, represented the king of Mysore''s resistance against the East India Company.

Whether it is the striking sculptures of the famed city of Hampi, the beautiful folios from religious texts, the breathtaking Konark wheel, the famous Koh-i-Noor, or the elegant paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, these artefacts, monuments and artworks are intimately woven into the history and culture of India and revered for their beauty and artistry.
