  1. Ayush Chauhan –

    Stunning illustrations! I learned so much about the history of Indian music. Some descriptions were a little too technical for me, but still enjoyable.

  2. Amit Kumar Gupta –

    This book is quite niche. I did find myself getting lost in jargon. If you are a fan of Indian music, then you may enjoy the book more.

  3. Saurabh Prakhar –

    A fascinating look at th-century Indian instruments. Solvyns’ art is beautiful, but the text can be a bit dense at times. Overall, a worthwhile read for serious enthusiasts.

  4. Manish Kumar –

    A wonderful addition to my collection of books on Indian art. The printing quality is excellent, and the content is well-researched. Highly recommended!

  5. Debadrita Sarkar –

    Interesting subject matter, but the writing style is quite academic. Hard to get through if you are not familiar with music terminology. Great pictures!

  6. Dhriti Roy Choudhury –

    Amazing artwork, a valuable scholarly resource. I wish the authors spent time on the social impact of the music. Still a good read.

  7. Aayush Tanwar –

    The portraits are mesmerizing. Each instrument tells a story. The book provides great insight into the musical heritage of India. Must read!

  8. Anushka Bhartiya –

    I was hoping for a more engaging narrative. The book is informative, but reads like a catalog. The artwork is gorgeous, though.

  9. Drishti Singh –

    An excellent resource for researchers! The detail in the instrument depictions is incredible. A bit dry for casual readers, but invaluable for scholars.

  10. Aayush Gupta –

    A detailed visual reference, but the information feels fragmented. I wish there was a stronger narrative thread. The artwork is captivating.

  11. Vivek –

    A visually appealing book with detailed information. It could use some editing. Some repetition and not very engaging at some points. Still, worth it.

  12. Naman Pamnani –

    I was blown away by the beauty and detail of the illustrations. A truly remarkable glimpse into India’s musical past. A perfect gift.

  13. Sanvi Saxena –

    Beautiful book, but I expected more historical context. The portraits are the highlight, but the analysis felt lacking. Good for a visual treat though.
