TEMPLES

A great deal of valuable academic material on India's Hindu temples has been collated over the decades by historians, architects and archaeologists. As many shrines have now fallen into disuse or decay, the documentation by people like Percy Brown, James Fergusson, Claude Betley and Stella Kramrisch is crucial to the preservation of Indian's Hindu architectural heritage.
