Architectural Ornamentation in Shrines and Mosques of Kashmir

Islamic architecture is known for its intricate work and influence of the regional vernacular. Living in a shadow of violence, Kashmir, like any other region in India, is also home to many historic sites, including mosques and shrines, which have borne the brunt of natural and man-made disasters, and continue to face the apathy of public authorities. Edited by Qamoos Bukhari, Architectural Ornamentation in Shrines and Mosques of Kashmir, with detailed photographs and illustrations, captures the glory of a time gone by, with the hope that it will be preserved for the succeeding generations.
