Confluence of Cultures: Hindu, Jain & Buddhist Icons in Mosques & Mausoleums of Gujarat

Viac o knihe

Culture is a confluence of the creative influences of its times. While observing 57 structures in Gujarat extant in the form of mosques and mausoleums, the author with extensive research, documentation, interviews and visits in 2011, 2014 and 2019, endeavours to document the Hindu, Jain and Buddhist icons and decorative motifs present in these structures, and thus pinpoint how we have always been a pluralistic world with harmony and coexistence at its core. A study that is academic and yet so relevant in the times we live in.
