From its snowy northern regions to the very tip of its southern peninsula in the Indian ocean, India is filled with places of worship. A country which, according to the Mahabharata, contains thousands of tirthas (places of pilgrimage) where devotees can ford the river of life and reach the sublime shore beyond. And indeed it would be difficult to walk a mile in India without coming upon a shrine of some sort, each significant in its own way. Everyone wants to be near God. In this volume, the wealth of mythology, architecture and man’s essential but so complex belief in a Godhead, are simplified for the contemporary, lay seeker. Beautifully illustrated and lucidly written, Temples of India is more than a book on temples, it takes you to the very heart of a timeless civilization.
