KHAJURAHO (OIP)

After reading the book visited the place. Helps me understanding our ancient art in better way. Thanks 🙏

I expected a lot more detail about the temples than this book covers. I understand it is targeted towards a tourist who might carry it around.

Good job!

A very good book for a beginner like me who has just fallen in love with Khajuraho.

Nice read - interesting method of analysis.

To the author's credit, her compact book (only 107 pages) in an ideal introduction to this important monument group built in central India from 900-1200AD. She covers a broad range of topics including the history of the monuments, their architectural components and addressing controversies inspired by their erotic content. The book has 13 illustrations, 2 maps and 29 photographs that clearly illustrate points raised in the text.Travelers should consider this book an essential item for a visit; it includes a short appendix at the end with details about restaurants, hotels, transportation, guides and museums at the site.For an in depth view of the topic, refer to the author's 1996 book "The Religious Imagery of Khajuraho" and her 1984 book "Erotic Sculpture of India: A Socio-Cultural Study."This volume is from the Oxford University Press "Monumental Legacy" series about World Heritage Sites in India. Other books in the series cover the Ellora caves, the 14th c. Vijayanagara cultural center of Hampi, the 13th c. Orissan sun temple of Konarak on the Bay of Bengal, Christian churches of Goa, Buddhist monuments of Sanchi, and more.Religious Imagery of KhajurahoErotic Sculpture of India: A Socio-Cultural StudyKhajuraho
