MONUMENTAL INDIA BOOK

The Monumental India Book

by Amit Pasricha (Text by Aman Nath)
2007, 45 cm., pp. 224, 140 panoramic colour photographs
Price USD USD 282.05 Or Rs. 11000

(postage by Airmail USD 30.00 & By SAL mail USD 15.00)

The Monumental India Book presents breathtaking panoramic views of North India's famed monuments and sites as well as the region's little-known architectural gems. Covering fascinating typologies, it features sprawling Hindu and Jain temple complexes, imposing Islamic tombs and mosques, serene Buddhist monasteries and stupas, colonial and royal palaces, and majestic forts. The camera enters magnificent Darbar Halls where Maharajas once held formal audience, and the opulent interiors of their private apartments, with mirrored decorations, chandeliers, and heavy brocades.

Beginning high in the Zanskar Mountains, Amit Pasricha photographs the 13 century Thiksey Monastery that clings to a hillside in Ladakh. In Chandigarh, he captures Le Corbusier's revolutionary design that altered the course of modern Indian architecture, and in Agra and Delhi, the iconic Taj Mahal and the colonial North and South Blocks. He travels across the deserts of Rajasthan to the massive 15 century Rajput Fort of Kumbalgarh, and crosses the plains to Madhya Pradesh for the sparkling Jai Vilas Palace and the second century BCE Sanchi Stupa, ending this incredible journey at the prehistoric Bhimbetka Caves.

Amit Pasricha enlists the elements - sun, snow, mist, and cloud - to give the photographs cosmic drama, and his mastery of the panoramic format underscores the majesty of nature and the glory of manmade structures. His images capture the broad sweep of an edifice along with its finest, most intricate details. Aman Nath's insightful text completes this beautiful collection of photographs, making The Monumental India Book a limited edition to be preserved and treasured.
