‘Footprints of Visvakarma’: Learning from History
Snehal Shah on Indian architecture
Speaker
The book ‘Footprints of Visvakarma’ is a collection of nine essays written by Prof. Madhusudan Amilal Dhaky, Padma Bhushan, both a celebrated art historian and polymath. These nine essays, rich in research, represent an insight into aspects of Indian temple architecture. Before his demise in 2016, Prof. Dhaky bequeathed this unfinished project to Architect Snehal Shah, an alumni of CEPT University.
