Reseña del libro "Monumental Relics of The Imperial Mughals of India (1526-1658 A.D): Vol- 1 (en Inglés)"
'Monumental Relics of the Imperial Mughals of India' (1526-1658 A.D.) is a new series of my papers, exclusively devoted to Mughal Architecture (and the allied subjects as Art, Painting, Epigraphy, Aesthetics etc) and this is the FIRST edition of its FIRST volume. Visual as is the subject, as usual, 23 figures 9 Persian inscriptions and 102 plates (some of which are rare) have been used to illustrate the text. Subsequent volumes of this series shall be published, on this theme, to fill in the gaps of this vast subject, as far as it is possible in a life-time. This is an anthology (collection) of my 10 (ten) latest Research-Papers on Mughal Architecture. Hitherto, I have authored 219 Research-Papers on Ancient and Medieval Indian (specifically, Mughal) History, Culture, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Epigraphy, Aesthetics and Historiography, during the last half-a-century's time, from 1965 uptodate (a list whereof has been given on my website: www.rnath.in chapter-2: 'Work').
