DESCRIPTION
Baroque India is the fruit of our 40 year of research, and is the work of one professionally trained in the history of Indian art (Hindu, Islamic, Buddhist and Jain). It is his belief that Indian Baroque -or, more correctly, Indian Neo-Roman-cannot be properly appreciated without an understanding of the architectural styles that preceded it on the subcontinent, and which exercised a significant impact on it. This theory, author believes, has enabled him to distinguish the originality of Indian Neo-Roman, and describe what it has absorbed from the subcontinent's Indian and Indo-Islamic styles, while integrating the absorbed material into its Neo-Roman substance.
