This is I think one of the first book to examine the Indian style in depth.This serves as a vibrant guide,which helps you decorate from the living room corners to the outdoor spaces.It explains the origin of these ornamentations that epitomizes India an its style and includes treatment of doors,walls,floors,textiles,windows,terraces etc.

it also illustrates how brilliant colour schemes symbolize religious traditions,and often correlates to the basic elements of air,water,fire and earth.
