  1. Yash Tyagi –

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

  2. Nupur Mahajan –

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

  3. Ayush –

    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.

  4. Renuka Sanjeev Bhure –

    A great introduction to the topic. I’m now inspired to visit some of these water monuments myself! A few more maps would have been helpful.

  5. Geetanjali Mukherjee –

    An interesting book that explores a little-known aspect of Indian architecture. I especially enjoyed the chapters on baolis.

  6. Sanya Arora –

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

  7. Shubham Kaushal –

    An okay read. I was expecting more technical details about water harvesting techniques. The historical context was well explained, though.

  8. Sahil Bajoria –

    Absolutely loved exploring these hidden gems of India’s past! The book is well-researched and engaging. Highly recommend.

  9. Abhishek Agrawal –

    The book offers a unique perspective on water management in ancient India. I learned a lot. Sometimes it was difficult to follow the timelines.

  10. Aditya Mishra –

    A fascinating look at Indian water architecture! The photography is stunning. I wish there were more in-depth analyses of the engineering behind these structures.
