The regional study of the monuments is an important method to assess the cultural social religious and economic status. In Indian history the Kachchhapaghata dynasty ruled over an area comprising of the modern districts of Gwalior Morena Bhind Shivpuri and Guna of Modern Madhya Pradesh. They supplanted the early ruler of the region specially the Gurjara Pratiharas. They patronised art and cultural activities in their territory. In the field of temple architecture they experimented indigenous trends. The Kakanamath Temple at Suhania Sasa bahu temple at Gwalior a Jain temple at Dubkund and the group of temples at Kadwaha are few of the reminiscence of their past glory. Besides these a good number of temples were built out side of their territory. The group of temples at Chandpur Dudhai Badoh and Kagpur etc. deserve mention. They raised a good number of mathas tank baolis etc. to fulfil the need of Sanyasis as well as for the welfare of the people. The present text is an outcome of the extensive scientific survey of the monuments built in Kachchhapaghata territory and neighbouring regions. The text is divided in twelve chapters. The first chapter is a brief backdrop of the political history of the region. The second chapter deals with scientific analyses of the temples noticed in situ in the Central India. Likewise third chapter is devoted to deal with the temples built in the neighbouring regions (Gyaraspur Kagpur Dudhai and Chandpur etc). The fourth chapter is the classification of the monuments and their features. The fifth chapter deals with the mathas and other monuments like the tanks and baolis etc. The sixth chapter of the text is devoted to focus light on the iconography of the cult deities like Brahmanic triad sakti and the Saiva. The seventh chapter is fully devoted to the iconography of Visnu and his incarnations. The eighth chapter highlights the iconography of Vyantara Devatas Brahma Surya Navagrahas and Dikpalas. The ninth chapter is devoted to deal with Sakti sculptures discovered from the Kachchhapaghata territory. The evidences prove that the Kachchhapaghata rulers were liberal towards Jainism and hence a good number of Jaina temples and sculptures were produced to satisfy the followers of Jainism. These have been subjected to the present study. The eleventh chapter deals with the sculptures of minor Gods and semidivines like the Apsaras Yaksa yaksinis and other decorative motifs. Lastly an assume is included obviously the assessments of the trends of art and architecture which flourished under the patronage of the Kachchhapaghata dynasty of Central India. The line drawings maps and photographs of monuments and sculptures authenticate the text. Thus the book may however be accepted as an important additions to the history of art and architecture of ancient India. 221 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: New. First. Himachal Pradesh is a small hill state nestling in the lap of the Western Himalaya . Geographically it is a mountainous State with high ranges, snow clad peaks, unfathomable valleys, powerful rivers and gurgling streams. The topography is difficult and defies easy access. Yet, there have been adventurers who came to the Himalayan terrain, conquered the local chiefs and established kingdoms. When there is kingdom, there is bound to be fortification to secure the boundaries, and palaces to live in style befitting the ruler. Culturally, Himachal Pradesh has a pleasant amalgam of mainstream Hindu, Buddhist and tribal art, architecture, and folk practices. Some of its forts and palaces have rich treasures of temple architecture, heritage buildings, paintings, sculpture and wood carvings fit to leave the tourists wonderstruck at the beauty and depth of the culture. When one thinks of the forts of Himachal Pradesh, the first to come to mind is Kangra fort followed by the huge Nurpur Fort, the Forts of Sujanpur Tira, Haripur-Guler and Kotla. These are testimonials to the splendid defense strategies, stupendous grandiosity of style and the great legacy in building art. On the other hand, the structure of the palaces in the upper regions of Himachal is usually tower-like. The idea was to combine fort and palace because of lack of space. The forts and palaces of this tiny hill state may not vie with those of Rajasthan or some other states considering the topography of the Pradesh, but they still have a charm of their own and rich potential to attract a large number of tourists. The forts are built on inaccessible hills and open out to awe-inspiring valleys. The scenic grandeur of these palaces and forts is to be seen to be believed. When the majestic Dhauladhar forms the backdrop to Jhitangiri palace (non-existent today), or to the majestic Kot Kangra, how can one describe the feeling of awe and wonder? When suddenly a fort is seen jutting its little stony head from among the thick deodars on some isolated peak, who can really resist the charm of climbing up to see what it holds? And when you see magnificent Rajasthani art on the fa?ade of some dilapidated palace you feel sad at the ravages of time. This book gives visual impressions coupled with brief history of the forts. It also focuses on art and architecture including woodcarvings, stone work, specificities of the architecture, like the Naggar palace of Kullu/Manali area which has typical architecture with horizontal wooden slabs and mud walls that are quake-resistant; temples and temple art associated with the palaces; treks to these palaces and forts through thick pinewoods and steep slopes; the atmosphere of awe and wonder; local customs and culture.
