Review of Architectural Heritage of Gujarat by Miki Desai and Madhavi Desai
Review of Architectural Heritage of Gujarat by Miki Desai and Madhavi Desai. Gandhinagar: Commisionerate of Information 2012 This is a jewel of a book. Its photographs simply take one’s breath away as the realization sinks in of the history that lies about us in the monuments recorded here so accurately and lovingly. Temples and mosques emerging from the brown earth, the rounded huts of the Banni in Kutch, the interlacing carved woodwork in the havelis, the charm of elaborate chabutars or bird feeders—the richness is dazzling. The photographs taken by the authors invite general readers to pause and stare at all this while they gently and unobtrusively tell us about what we see, drawing our attention to the way in which these structures reflect the geography and culture of the groups that produced them. Fine drawings of building plans accompany, in many cases, the utterly beautiful photographs. They start with an era which clearly had town planning, Lothal and Dholavira, part of the Indus Valley Civilization, and move on to early forms of dwellings that survive among rural communities in villages, where houses are built without artisans and adorned by the people who live in them. Then come the towns, and history as we know it enters through more complex buildings as one age gives way to another. Buddhist caves of the 4th century offer a surprise in the form of columns that look familiar, till one realizes they are Graeco-Roman in style and probably derive from Gandhara art after Alexander’s invasion. We pass then to the medieval period of kings and patronage and elaborate places of worship: the 10th century temples of Polo, a city now abandoned, and the 11th century sun temple at Modhera. -
