About the Book
This book provides an in-depth study of the Western Himalayan region, renowned for its snow-covered mountains, evergreen deodar forests, and ancient wooden architecture. The work explores the region’s magnificent wooden temples, Buddhist monasteries, and traditional wooden houses, highlighting their artistic, structural, and cultural significance.
Among the examples discussed are some of the most enduring timber structures, including the over 1300-year-old Lakshana Devi Temple at Brahmaur, the Shakti Devi Temple at Chitrari, the Markula Devi Temple in the Chandrabhaga Valley, and the Dakshineshvar Mahadev Temple at Nirmand. These edifices illustrate the durability, craftsmanship, and aesthetic excellence of Himalayan wooden architecture.
A vital resource for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts of Indian art and architecture, this book enriches understanding of the cultural and historical legacy of the Western Himalayas.
