- More about India
This visual testament to India’s enduring artistic splendor traces its influence from Mughal courts to William Morris, Cartier, and contemporary designers of textiles, jewelry, and architecture.
India’s rich decorative tradition—which weaves together Hindu, Mughal, and Persian influences—is an intricate interplay of material and metaphysical realms, where art and life are inseparable. Indian textiles, jewelry, and architecture express excellence in craftmanship, and are awash with ornamentation that transcends mere beauty to become an act of devotion. Mirrors and sacred geometries reinforce notions of enlightenment, while the Hindu concept of Lila celebrates the joyous, effervescent spirit of creation. Indian architecture—with stepwells, palaces, and shrines—invokes cosmic principles and embodies sacred harmony. Every decorative motif and each form reflect celestial ideals—from temple murals to the vibrant colors of Holi—and elevate Indian art to a sublime philosophical declaration of divine wonder.
Through previously unpublished photographs, this book honors India’s living crafts—where past and present merge seamlessly—and reaffirms India’s timeless global resonance.
