Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. The ancient monuments of India possess that quality of leaving a lasting impact on the mind of the beholder and awakening his spirit. Their irresistible appeal has resulted in the creation of a vast literature dealing mostly with their aesthetic aspects. The technical aspect was neglected; for information on this subject was scarce and available only in the manuscripts with private owners scattered all over India. Undaunted by the dismal prospect before him, Prasanna Kumar Acharya ventured in this untrodden field and after years of diligent search and study, prepared the work: Manasara on Architecture and Sculpture. This contains the Sanskrit text of the building science studied by the architects of ancient India. Critical notes on every chapter are provided for an easier understanding of the text. Everyone interested in the Architecture of ancient India shall find this book as the most authoritative on the subject.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 2nd Edition. Architecture and sculpture, both sacred and secular, through, have witnessed the best of human imagination and innovation serving culture and civilization in their evolution all over the world. Coming to the present generation, while the global necessity is protection of the nature, sustainable development and eco-friendly creations and constructions, the artists, sculptors and architects in the east and the west have started rediscovering the classic oriental standards outlined in scriptures or presented in scientific details in specific technical texts in Sanskrit and allied languages, which have been practice for a very long time in human history. This invariably proved sites in incredible India and Indian sub-continent. Manasara is regarded as the most standard and complete treatise, rather the fountain-head of all the Silpa texts. The very name Manasara means the Essence of Measurement . Of the seventy chapters of Manasara, the first eight are introductory, the next forty-two deal with architectural matters, and the last twenty are devoted to sculpture, where sculptural details of idols of deities of the Hindus, the Buddhist and Jains, statues of great personages and images of animals and birds are given. This new revised edition contains the original Sanskrit text along with the English translation and explanatory notes. Besides General Index, a Glossary of the technical terms is also appended to the work. However, the present work is sure to inspire the specialist with rare information and insight and also will bring home to lay reader the contribution of ancient India in this highly technical area of human enterprise.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. In this volume an endevour has been made to give a brief survey of Hindu Architecture in India and Abroad. Materials are, however, not yet quite sufficient to attempt a full and complete history of the building activities of the Hindus in India itself. Architecture, in ancient India, was understood in a comprehensive sense, and included sculpture and a variety of other arts. In the preliminary section of the Manasara the ancient authorities themselves discussed the allied subject. In the Introductory chapter of this volume a short account is given of what was understood as fine arts. Many of the fine arts are intimately connected with architecture. Thus a full history of Hindu architecture will be incomplete without a complete survey of all the allied arts.…
