The story of India through its greatest treasures

A comprehensive history of India told through 100 objects and monuments.

If the captivating bronze dancing girl of the Harappan civilization heralded the dawn of the earliest cities, the stunning Sanchi Stupa symbolized the peak of Buddhist religion in India. If Tipu's Tiger, an intricate, almost life-sized mechanical toy, represented the king of Mysore's resistance against the East India Company, Ranjit Singh's Golden Throne was a testament to the majestic nature of the Sikh empire.

Whether it is the striking sculptures of the famed city of Hampi, the beautiful folios of poet Amir Khusro's quintets, the breathtaking Konark wheel, or the cursed Koh-i-Noor and the elegant paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, these artifacts are a testament to India's rich culture and history. Treasures from India is more than a curation of objects. It tells the story of a country through its treasures, art, and monuments. It begins with prehistory and makes its way through the different eras that have defined India's history.

Including the most iconic of objects, the book also showcases treasures that represent the many cultures that make up India, to provide space to those communities that have traditionally been overlooked. Theme and narrative spreads act as bookends to the featured objects and monuments - providing the reader with context for the items while discussing their significance and relevance. As much for a history enthusiast as it is for a reader who wants a keepsake, Treasures from India is a luxurious book that promises to be a perfect addition to any personal library.
