Divinity, mysticism, innovation and magnificence are the best ways to define Indian Art , Architecture & Sculpture.





Mud homes in Jodhpur, Rajasthan,
their resonating blue walls the result of a
traditional paint mixture of lime and indigo.





The imposing
Gwalior Fort, Madhya Pradesh. Built in
the eighth century and stretching for
almost 2 miles, the fort encloses within its
high walls a series of palaces and temples
with stone carving and lattice screens in
the Rajput style.





Situated on the
south bank of the Tungabhadra River in
Karnataka—Hampi, the capital of the
Vijayanagar Empire that reached its
zenith in the sixteenth century. The core
of the city was fortified and separated
from its sacred center by an irrigated valley
through which ancient canals and
waterways still run.
