Summary
  • Richly designed with beautiful images and illustrations, this edition, published in collaboration with INTACH Kashmir Chapter, is a celebration of architectural ornamentation in shrines and mosques of one of the most beautiful regions of India. The book is also a study to understand the Islamic architecture in the era of continuity and change.
  • "Islamic architecture is known for its intricate work and influence of the regional vernacular. Living in a shadow of violence, Kashmir, like any other region in India, is also home to many historic sites, including mosques and shrines, which have borne the brunt of natural and man-made disasters, and continue to face the apathy of public authorities. Edited by Qamoos Bukhari, Architectural Ornamentation in Shrines & Mosques of Kashmir, with detailed photographs and illustrations, captures the glory of a time gone by, with the hope that it will be preserved for the succeeding generations"--
