Abstract (in English)
From 1993 onwards ICOMOS commissioned its National Committees to write a series of monographies to its National Committees to document the individual experiences of nations in the long term in the care of their heritage. This volume is dedicated to the care of heritage in India. Careful selection plays an important role when compiling material on monuments and sites in India. This is because of the vast number of edifices which lie scattered across the country, some celebrated for their splendour, some frequently visited for their easy accessibility, and others which are obscure yet full of historic and architectural interest. It is not possible to cover the entire spectrum of the known 20,000 odd monuments in India. Even those protected under the ASI run to some 3676. For the purpose of this present volume, we have selected not so much the well-known monuments of India as the true representative ones,but monuments ranging from early Buddhist stupas and rock cut caves, classical Hindu temples, medieval forts and palaces, Islamic mosques and mausoleums, to Renaissance churches and to neo-classical, colonial, buildings. This assortment will indicate the immense diversity of architectural styles and historic influences which fashioned India's physical cultural heritage.
