A visually appealing book, but the writing style is a bit dry. It could have been more engaging. Still a valuable resource, though.

A decent overview of Indian water architecture. It’s a good starting point for further research. Needs better editing.

Beautifully presented and informative. “The Iconography of Water” is a must-read for anyone interested in Indian history and architecture. Some sections felt a bit repetitive.

While the subject matter is interesting, the book felt overpriced for the content provided. The pictures are great, at least.
