This oversize volume presents a collection of breathtaking panoramic views of North India’s famed monuments and sites as well as little-known architectural gems.

Produced in a landscape format with exquisite multipage gatefolds, the book explores a variety of styles and periods, including sprawling Hindu and Jain temple complexes, imposing Islamic tombs and mosques, serene Buddhist monasteries and stupas, colonial and royal palaces, and majestic forts. Amit Pasricha’s camera enters magnificent darbar halls where maharajas once held court, and explores their opulent private apartments, with mirrored decorations, chandeliers, and luxurious brocades. Enlisting the elements—sun, snow, mist, and clouds—to give the photographs cosmic drama, Pasricha’s images underscore the majesty of nature and the glory of manmade structures. Aman Nath’s insightful text completes this beautiful collection of photographs, making Monumental India a limited edition to be preserved and treasured.
