Architecture Decorated With Architecture: Later Medieval Temples Of Karnataka, 1000-1300 Ad

This book gives a detailed analysis of architectural designs found in Indian temples built in Karnataka in the period 1000-1300 AD, and a view on the architectural features common in all sophisticated temples built in medieval India. Indian temples are decorated with architecture in an ingenious way not found elsewhere in the world, and in medieval Karnataka that special use of architecture reached a climax. Both text and illustrations are a complete and unabridged publication of a Ph.-D.-thesis submitted at Leiden University (Leiden, The Netherlands) in 2003
