商品簡介
The Indian subcontinent offers a fascinating collection of historic forts and royal palaces waiting to be explored. Over the centuries, as kingdoms rose and fell or expanded into mighty empires, the need for protection against invaders resulted in the building of magnificent forts and fortified citadels across the country. Many of these fortresses sheltered entire cities, as well as royal palaces and pleasure gardens that were known for their splendor and luxury.
Mighty Maharajas: Forts and Palaces of India brings together a unique architectural legacy—from ancient forts mentioned in Hindu epics to strongholds built by succession of rulers, arranged geographically within a historic or aesthetic context. The narrative provides glimpses of history enlivened by stirring tales of valor and sacrifice while lavish color photographs reflect the cultural heritage of each palace and fort, bringing the royal experience to life for the reader.
Praise for Mighty Maharajas:
"Mighty Maharajas: Forts & Palaces of India by Amita Baig is a beautiful book featuring nearly sixty, very impressive buildings throughout the country. From a design standpoint I am particularly drawn to the bold colors and the acute attention to detail. Take a look!" —Home Design with Kevin Sharkey
"Mighty Maharajas: Forts & Palaces of India tours more than 60 historic sites throughout India, including crumbling hillside bastions, royal quarters adorned with dizzying glass mosaics, and opulent colonial-era villas that blend local and European styles." —Elle Decor
"It's fascinating to see how the distinct Indian aesthetic has endured and evolved amid thousands of years of upheaval and outside influences. . . . Architect and photographer Joginder Singh's breathtaking images are there to satisfy those who learn by looking. . . . Singh masterfully captures the play of light and a sense of scale. . . . After coming to the last page, I find myself making all sorts of connections between Indian buildings, textiles, jewelry and fashion." —Style Court blog

Informative narratives offering glimpses of these amazing edifices and their dramatic history as well as photographs illustrating their grandeur and opulence will keep you turning the pages.” —Annechovie blog
