India and Portugal: Cultural Interactions

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Starting with the earliest travellers in the 16th century, this volume reviews the cultural legacy of five centuries of Indo-Portuguese contact. Two of the chapters discuss rare manuscripts in Portuguese and Dutch which document the customs and traditions of the people of 16th-century India, particularly Goa. The evolution of Goan church and temple architecture, the typical houses of Goa, and the development of the characteristic covered porch or balcao are examined in detail, as are the richly carved chairs of Indo-Portuguese style. Essays on the Portuguese tenure on the Kerala and Bengal coasts are included. Also documented are the traditional Goan dance-song, the Mando, and the rich culinary heritage for which Goa is justly famous. Artikel-Nr. ABE-14335169401
