World Cultural Heritage Sites in India: Speaking Stones
This is the first genuine attempt to thread the 23 World Cultural Heritages Sites in India as a tourist circuit. These are monuments selected by UNESCO to encourage protection and preservation of cultural sites considered to be of outstanding value to humanity.
The first edition of the book, published in 2002 won the 'Excellence in Publishing' Award conferred by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. The new edition of this Highly –acclaimed guidebook has been updated to include six new sites added to the WHS India list since then.
With extensive research in historical, as well as architectual details, this is an invaluable companion not only for the intrepid tourist but also the armchair traveller. Over 250 specially – commissioned photographs and easy –to –follow site maps make this illustrated exploration of India's living past a visual delight.
