    Description

    This volume is the first to offer an overall survey of the architectural and artistic heritage of the Deccan Sultanate and to place this legacy within its historical context. The cultural links which existed between the Deccan and the Middle East, for example, are clearly discernible in Deccani architecture and paintings and a remarkable collection of photographs, many of which have never been published before, testify to such influences. The book will be a source of inspiration to all those interested in the rich and diverse culture of India.

    • The first and only book which focuses on the art and architecture of the Deccan Sultanates
    • Highly illustrated, accessible text
    • Two distinguished authors who are well known for their work in this field

    Reviews & endorsements

    "...for readers interested in Indian culture, the volume offers a wealth of detail by way of broader context. ...Michell's survey of architecture is excellent for a volume this size. He has managed to serve up a sort of `greatest hits' of all the large dynasties while including a generous sprinkling of detail shots." Religion and the Arts

    "Magnificent illustrations, a useful bibliographic essay, 206-item bibliography, and nine-page index accompany the well-documented narrative. The rigorous scholarship of Mitchell (architect/art historian) and the late Zebrowski (art historian) results in an extremely valuable, compelling academic account of Deccan art history and architecture." Religious Studies Review

    "...splendid and timely book..." Choice

    International Journal of Asian Studies (IJAS) is an interdisciplinary, English-language forum for research in the social sciences and humanities. IJAS examines Asia on a regional basis, emphasising patterns and tendencies that go beyond the borders of individual countries. It is particularly interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical framework, especially using interdisciplinary approaches, and so promotes comparative studies involving the various regions of Asia. As well as encouraging contributions from western scholars, IJAS focuses attention on the work of Asian scholars, in order to encourage multi-directional communication across the international Asian studies community. It includes both themed and general issues.
