The Colours of India

"[The author] presents to us the jewel-colours of markets and villages, temples and palaces, festivals and weddings, lakes and deserts - sometimes in the grand panoramas, sometimes in the tiniest but most telling of details. Blues, whites, crimson, greens, golds, grey-black and earth colour, each have their own special resonances. Each of the colours has its own mood, and is the theme of a separate chapter." -Back cover.
