  1. Arun

    A necessary addition to any architectural library. The print quality is excellent. Only wish for more color plates.

  2. Siyon Khosla

    Excellent reference work. The binding feels a bit flimsy for such a large set. Hoping it holds up over time.

  3. Ashish Kunvar

    This book is the gold standard for temple architecture. Extremely comprehensive with beautiful plates.

  4. Saptarshi Jana

    The definitions are helpful, but sometimes too abstract. Examples could be more concrete.

  5. Parjeet Singh

    The perfect study material. It covers very depth information.

  6. Jay Raj Sharma

    A comprehensive resource for serious scholars. The two volumes are dense but rewarding for those willing to put in the effort.

  7. Aditya Kumar

    An impressive work of scholarship. Could have been more accessible with clearer organization.

  8. Manvi Gautam

    A monumental achievement! My only complaint is the small font size. Hard to read for long periods.

  9. Kaushal Kumar Sharma

    The sheer volume of information is daunting, but undeniably valuable. This book is very helpful for advanced researches.

  10. Ayush Rahul Patel

    An exhaustive study of temple architecture. The illustrations are of excellent quality, but a digital version would be even better.

  11. Rishabh Choudhary

    Great resource, but very specialized. You need a strong background in art history to fully appreciate it.

  12. Spriha Singh

    I’m amazed by the level of detail in this encyclopedia. It’s a lifelong resource! Some sections are slightly repetitive.

  13. Ansh Arora

    Too academic for my taste. I was hoping for a more engaging introduction to temple art.

  14. Saket Laxman Shende

    Dhaky’s work is essential. The price point is a bit steep, but the content is worth it for researchers.

  15. Keshav Singhal

    Beautifully illustrated! However, the terminology can be overwhelming for a casual reader. Needs more introductory material.

  16. Rugved Deepak Tidke

    A must-have for anyone studying South Indian temples. The depth of detail is unmatched. Some prior knowledge recommended.

  17. Chayan Thagria

    Too lengthy. It could be short and crisp.

  18. Mahima Singh

    I like the overall book. It is good for research purpose. But sometime boring to read.

  19. Ansuman Mishra

    As a student of architecture, this book has been invaluable. Very detailed. However, the content can be overwhelming for beginners.

  20. Nikhil Jha

    Nice book. I love the work. Illustration is amazing.

  21. Nevaidya Agarwal

    I struggled to get through this book. It is extremely verbose and lacks visual storytelling.

  22. Gopidesi Krishnaveni

    The glossary is incredibly helpful. I wish there were more diagrams explaining the complex terms. Good, but not perfect.
