From soaring temple towers to rock-cut sanctuaries, James Fergusson maps the spiritual and artistic landscape of India in stone. These stones still speak today. In Volume II of his classic study of Indian architecture, this pioneering historian brings together a sweeping narrative of ancient and medieval India architecture, focusing on the evolution of Buddhist and Hindu monuments and their place within wider South Asian architecture history. With a traveller's eye for detail and a scholar's rigour, Fergusson situates Indian temple architecture history within the broader history of Asian art, tracing lineages, regional styles and cultural exchanges that shaped a distinct Asian architectural heritage history. Long regarded as an essential academic Asian art history book and a complete architectural history reference, History Of Indian And Eastern Architecture (Volume II) serves equally well as a reference book for art historians and as an illuminating companion for curious general readers. Accessible yet authoritative, it offers rich context for architecture students and researchers seeking a deeper understanding of South and East Asian building traditions. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A cornerstone in South Asian architecture history and the history of Asian art, it stands proudly in any world architecture classics collection.
