Sar
Indian design carries centuries of influence, from the Mughal empire to the British Raj to a globalized present. This book traces that continuity through 200 classic objects, chosen for their beauty and their place in daily life. Rather than a timeline or a focus on named designers, the objects are grouped into categories anchored by Hindi words, revealing refined techniques and ongoing responses to nature and necessity.
