Fergusson meticulously details the \"monastery\" (Vihara) and \"cathedral\" (Chaitya) caves, analyzing their Buddhist, Hindu, and Jaina origins while establishing a chronological framework based on a comparison of stone details with their wooden prototypes. This comprehensive study, supported by plates and ground plans, serves as an essential foundational text for the study of Indian antiquities and the evolution of Eastern architectural styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 27, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53878651322675,"sku":"9789370717022","price":27.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Wd8Jk-Xp4V9789370717022.webp?v=1787199878","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/illustrations-of-the-rock-cut-temples-of-india-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
