{"product_id":"temple-architecture-and-art-of-george-michell-9789383098330","title":"Temple Architecture and Art of the Early Chalukyas: Badami, Mahakuta, Aihole, Pattadakal","description":"The temples of the Early Chalukyas, dating from the 6th to 8th centuries, are unrivalled in all of India for their comparatively early date and unusually complete condition, the remarkable juxtaposition of their different constructional techniques and building styles, and for the sheer beauty of their figural and decorative carvings. In spite of their appeal and outstanding historical significance, these monuments have until now lacked an adequate publication. This volume is the first to fully describe and illustrate the architecture and art of the Early Chalukya temples in Badami, and nearby Mahakuta, Aihole and Pattadakal, all situated on or near to the Malprabha River in central Karnataka. Michell's definitive text is complemented by forty of his measured drawings, which constitute the most thorough graphic documentation ever undertaken. These are accompanied by more than 150 splendid, newly commissioned photographs by Surendra Kumar. Contents: Preface; Historical Background; Architecture; Sculpture; Badami; Mahakuta; Aihole; Pattadakal; Maps; Building Chronology; Glossary of Architectural Terms; Glossary of Indian Names; Select Bibliography; Photo Credits; Index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Michell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9383098333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789383098330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Niyogi Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.10w x 0.90d","brand":"George Michell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097140338943,"sku":"9789383098330","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/temple-architecture-and-art-of-george-michell-9789383098330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
