Indian architecture is traditionally divided into two categories: sacred and royal structures. Palaces in the Indian subcontinent are the most significant landmarks associated with Indian heritage. This concise volume focuses on the architectural features associated with prasada, or palace structures constructed during ancient and medieval times. Coomaraswamy examines the various elements of palace structures, including pillars, walls, apartments, streets, gateways, quarters of the royal members, windows, arches, facades, and more. He draws upon both literary and archaeological evidence to provide a comprehensive understanding of these structures. Additionally, the book includes photographs and sketches of various palace structures located in Bharhut, Sanchi, Amravati, Mamallapuram, Bengal, and other parts of India, which serve to illustrate the features associated with Indian styles of palace construction. This book is highly recommended for students, archaeologists, and researchers interested in ancient and medieval Indian art and architecture. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy (22 August 1877–9 September 1947) was a Ceylon-based metaphysician, historian, theorist, and philosopher of Indian art. He played a significant role in bringing the Indian tradition of art into the Western world and was known as a bridge-maker between western and Indian art and philosophy. He was greatly inspired by Hindu and Greco-Roman traditions.
