The original dust jacket presents handsomely but displays minor signs of standard shelf-wear, including slight rubbing to the extremities and some gentle toning and faint surface soiling to the lighter panels, though it remains entirely whole and free of significant chips, tears, or clipping. Catalogue Note: This is the first edition of the dedicated "Plates" volume (Volume I, Part 2) from the monumental and highly respected Encyclopaedia of Indian Temple Architecture series. Published jointly by the American Institute of Indian Studies and Oxford University Press, this specific volume is entirely devoted to providing a comprehensive visual record of the architectural styles of the Upper DrÄviá adÄ"Åa region during its early phase. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates, it offers an unparalleled visual archive of Deccan temple architecture. The comprehensive imagery focuses deeply on the surviving structures of the CÄlukyas, RÄá £á rakÅ«á as, and other concurrent regional dynasties. Single volumes from this encyclopaedia, especially the heavily illustrated plate volumes, are decidedly scarce on the open market, as they are most frequently retained within institutional, university, or private reference libraries. This copy is distinguished by its remarkably preserved cloth binding, standing as a highly desirable reference for specialists in Indian art, archaeology, and architectural history. A cornerstone reference for South Asian architectural history, this dedicated plates volume provides an exhaustive visual survey of early Deccan temple architecture. Covering the crucial stylistic developments in the Upper DrÄviá adÄ"Åa region between A.D. 550 and 1075, it features a vast array of detailed photographs capturing the intricate stonework, structural evolution, and majestic forms of monuments built under the CÄlukya and RÄá £á rakÅ«á a dynasties. It serves as an indispensable visual archive for both students and seasoned scholars of Indian antiquity. N/A (illustrator). …
