A comparative view of the antient monuments of India: Particularly those in the island of Salset near Bombay, as described by different writers, illustrated with prints

A Comparative View of the Antient Monuments of India by Richard Gough presents an early European analysis of Indian architecture, focusing on the ancient cave temples of Salsette near Bombay (now Mumbai). Gough compares accounts from various travelers and scholars, aiming to document and interpret these structures for a British audience. The work includes detailed illustrations, highlighting the grandeur and intricacy of Indian monuments. It reflects 18th-century European fascination with Eastern antiquities and contributes to early Indo-British archaeological scholarship.
