500			_aNorthern India was the setting for the flowering of the Hindu, Buddhist and Janist cultures, the growth of Islamic civilisation and the foundation of the Sikh congregation. For this reason, Northern India is today one of the up-and-coming destinations for cultured tourists. The story of Indian civilisation is written in its stone: temples, palaces, mosques and mausoleums recount India's history in the language of art. This guide, thanks to the extraordinary wealth of photographs, drawings and plans, conveys the passion and spirituality which these artifacts evoke while illustrating the cultural matrix from which they arose. COVERAGE INCLUDES: * Terracotta Temples of Bengal * Golden Temple at Amritsar * Raja Forts * * Agra * Taj Mahal * Gardens of Kashmir * Solar Dynasties of Amber and Jaipur * * Rajasthan * Eight Cities of Delhi * Gujarat * Orissa * Indus Valley Civilisation *
