Architectural Galore – My India

India is rooted with history, culture and religion which reflects
architecture of India perfectly. Indian architecture progressed with time and
assimilated the many influences that came as a result of India’s global
discourse with other regions of the world throughout its millennia-old past.
The architectural methods practiced in India are a result of examination and
implementation of its established building traditions and outside cultural
interactions.

One of the most enduring achievements of Indian civilization is undoubtedly its
architecture. Indian architecture, which has evolved through centuries, is the
result of socio-economic and geographical conditions. Different types of Indian
architectural styles include a mass of expressions over space and time,
transformed by the forces of history considered unique to India. As a result of
vast diversities, a vast range of architectural specimens have evolved,
retaining a certain amount of continuity across history.

Indian architecture is that vast tapestry of production of the Indian
Subcontinent that encompasses a multitude of expressions over space and time,
transformed by the forces of history considered unique to the sub-continent,
sometimes destroying, but most of the time absorbing. The result is an evolving
range of architectural production that none the less retains a certain amount
of continuity across history.

Indian architecture, belonging to different periods of history, bears the stamp
of respective periods. Though the cities of Indus Valley provide substantial
evidence of extensive town planning, the beginnings of Indian architecture can
be traced back to the advent of Buddhism in India. It was in this period that a
large number of magnificent buildings came up.

It is this beauty that attracts thousands of tourists, students and curious architects to the country over and over again! This world Heritage Day take a tour of the most beautiful and ingenious examples of Indian craftsmanship!
