Description

The Temple Architecture of India. By ADAM HARDY. Chichester: John Wiley and Sons Ltd., 2007. Pp. 256, figs., maps, illus. $90. The aim of this book, in Hardy's words, is to open "a little window into another architectural universe," in order to understand the unfolding of structural forms in a manner that integrates architecture with religion and history. This reviewer found that the book opens a rather large vista into the world of two major Indian temple types. Along the way the reader experiences a delight in grasping plausible rationales to explain the shapes of many soaring monuments built by patrons having terrestrial and spiritual aspirations.
