The Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius declared firmitas, utilitas, and venustas-firmness, commodity, and delight- to be the three essential attributes of architecture. These qualities are brilliantly explored in this book, which uniquely comprises both a detailed survey of Western architecture, including Pre-Columbian America, and an introduction to architecture from the Middle East, India, Russia, China, and Japan. The text encourages readers to examine closely the pragmatic, innovative, and aesthetic attributes of buildings, and to imagine how these would have been praised or criticized by contemporary observers. Artistic, economic, environmental, political, social, and technological contexts are discussed so as to determine the extent to which buildings met the needs of clients, society at large, and future generations.

One of the three great gods of Hinduism, Siva is a living god. The most sacred and most ancient book of India, "The Rg Veda," evokes his presence in its hymns; Vedic myths, rituals, and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time. In a lively meditation on Siva--based on original Sanskrit texts, many translated here for the first time--Stella Kramrisch ponders the metaphysics, ontology, and myths of Siva from the Vedas and the Puranas. Who is Siva? Who is this god whose being comprises and transcends everything? From the dawn of creation, the Wild God, the Great Yogi, the sum of all opposites, has been guardian of the absolute. By retelling and interweaving the many myths that keep Siva alive in India today, Kramrisch reveals the paradoxes in Siva's nature and thus in the nature of consciousness itself.

In this book, "The Incredible Temple and Sanatan Sanskriti "author has endeavoured to focus on the Hindu temples of Karnataka, Tamil Nādu, Kerala & Odisha. They are amongst the most ancient, architectural, archaeological and heritage temples. These are eminently known for huge statutes, Mandapas, Towering super structures, Gopuram etc. They all Glorify Hindu Culture and scriptures viz. Puranas, Itihas, Vedas etc. The stories given there are vividly captured on more than life size carvings made from sandstone, soapstone, granite etc. One is awe struck how our ancestors created such masterpieces, with now considered, primitive tools and implements. This book is a tribute to our great forefathers who through their skills, dedication and pains taking labour over the centuries created such poetry in stone.
