The Colours of India

Summary: Simply divine...
Review: Having grown up in India and gifted several Indian artifacts and books to friends worldwide, I have always wondered what gift would best capture the spirit, sights, and sounds of such a diverse culture, landscape, and environment. No single work of art could possibly do so, but this book comes close, evoking such fond and strong memories and visions of India, that this has, over the past decade, become THE one book I would encourage people to go through, to get a mesmerizing glimpse of India.

Mainly pictorial, and close to being a coffee table book (not hardbound though and the binding could be a lot better...), it is by far the best book to encompass a range of visual images including India's landscape, its people, and hints of its cultural past and present. You will not be disappointed. Its a book not easily available, but if you ever come across it, don't think twice before grabbing a copy.
