Produktbeschreibung
While travelling in India, one invariably comes across a number of temples of varied antiquity, size and religious importance. No matter which city you visit, a prominent temple will always be part of your visit. In some places it is the temples that have brought the cities to prominence. The Indian subcontinent is dotted with pilgrim destinations associated with all the major religions of the world. No wonder, the country has always been known as 'harmashetra', or the sacred land. The construction of places of worship has been an eternal quest of the humanity. India is perhaps the only place in the world, where the evolution of the temple is documented in a span as wide as two thousand years.
Autorenporträt
Tarun Chopra is an internationally acclaimed photographer who has produced some of the most stunning photographic art books on India. Each book of his has been a commercial success story in itself, with some titles well into their tenth edition. Art connoisseurs from across the globe collect his photographs. At present, Tarun is working on a project called Threads of Compassion, for which he is travelling around the world and interviewing and photographing world religious readers in their own habitat. The pursuit of this endeavor has made him trek to the Tikal Jungles in Guatemala to meet the Mayan leader, accompany Chief Rabbi to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and photograph the Chief Priest of Greek Orthodox Church conducting the Mass in Athens.
