Jaipur
By
Kishore Singh
The city of Jaipur derives its name from both its
founder, Jai Singh of the Rajput Kachawaha family
of Rajasthan and from the fact that Jaipur was commissioned
as the City of Victory (Jai means victory) after Jai
Singh managed to defeat all opposition to his supremacy
in the battle between the Rajput clans. Built on a
plan of criss-crossing avenues encircling an elongated
central grid, the city is remarkably planned with
its uniform exteriors, painted in pink, and its well-allocated
quarters for all sections of society. This profusely
illustrated book will immediately transport you to
the heart of this throbbing medieval town.

LOVE
SCULPTURES OF KHAJURAHO
The temples of Khajuraho represent the finest in the medieval
Indian tradition of architecture and sculpture. Remarkable
not only for the grace and beauty of their figures, but
also for the erotica displayed on their walls, these temples
remain an enigma. Why were they built? What does the wealth
of erotica on these religious structures mean? Read this
book for answers to your questions.

DELHI
By
Pramodini Varma
Delhi, the seat of empires, incorporates not only
the seven dynasties which attempted to found lasting
capitals here, but also Lutyen's Delhi, which was
the British attempt at rivalling its earlier glory.
However, today Delhi is a city, heaving and throbbing
with life, embodying in itself all the contradictions
that comprise modern
India.

MUGHAL
AGRA
The
spectacular city of Agra, once the capital of the Great
Mughals, still preserves some of the best architectural
expressions of that legendary empire. Akbar the Great,
the third Mughal emperor, built the citadel-palace in
Agra and founded a model city, Fatehpur Sikri, on its
outskirts. His grandson, Shah Jahan, gave the city its
jewel of a monument, the Taj Mahal. Agra remains even
today the reminder of a once- celebrated past.
