Book Synopsis The Splendour of Himalayan Art and Culture by : Aśoka Jeratha
Download or read book The Splendour of Himalayan Art and Culture written by Aśoka Jeratha and published by Indus Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Himalayas are a source of inspiration and challenge to the researchers, intellectuals and adventurers. The lofty mountains with snow-clad peaks and lush green forests fascinate one and all. This work on the art and culture of people of the Himalayan region is fourth in sequence by the author. After Folk Art of Duggar; Ripples in the Himalayas; and Rajat Shikhron Ke Rupehle Swar, this work completes the first phase of studies of Himalayan culture. Earlier Kumaon, Garhwal, Kashmir and Ladakh Himalayas and their ranges were covered in detail. With the inclusion of Dhauladhar ranges and nearby surroundings of Kangra, Palampur, Baijnath, Mandi, Kullu, Manali, Lahaul & Spiti, Kinnaur and upper regions of Shimla in this book, it completes the studies of western Himalayas. The author has visited himself in most of these areas and collected the data so that first hand information can be provided to the readers. In a way it is a first endeavour in this field wherein the people and the land are discussed collectively for the first time. However, individual tribes of Himachal Pradesh do find their place in sociological studies done in the field, but we do not find a comparative study for which an objective effort has been made in this book for the benefit of readers and art historians alike. The book covers the art, architecture and cultural aspects of Himachal Pradesh. References have also been made to Basohli, Jammu, Manket, etc. as the Pahari art of minature paintings had its own legacy in these erstwhile kingdoms." -- Cover description.

Download or read book Himalayas written by Dr. Paul S. Sohi and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-09 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the inner west Himalayas, India lies a wonderland known as the Valley of Flowers. Included in the list of eight World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, it is spread over 33 square miles spanning altitudes of 11,000 - 21,000 feet, surrounded by 5 mountain peaks (Niligiri in North; Ghodi and Ratavan in the East; Saptasring in the South and Khunt-Khal in the West). The raging Pushpawati River crisscrosses throughout the Valley of Flowers between glaciers and streams. The river finally drains into Alaknanda, a tributary of the Ganges River at Govindghat. The east and west sides of the river are home to exotic miniature flowers, growing in configurations that only the wildest imagination could conceive. These small flowers can go unnoticed by a naive visitor. Visitors expecting large flowers like the ones seen in a flower show or cultivated gardens will be disappointed. The harsh, rigid and unforgiving high altitude of the majestic Himalayas can easily kill human life, let alone delicate flowers. Only one word can describe the presence of miniature flowers at this high altitude: miracle. The author believes that the inner Himalayas were home to various Gods and Goddesses who roamed the mountains and valleys, and the Himalayas responded with magical miniature flowers. The author feels that these are the flowers of the Gods. These photographs were taken a few months before the major landslide of 2013, and this book provides a vivid description for those who cannot make the journey themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his delightful The Valley of Flowers, mountaineer Frank Smythe takes you on a botanical expedition to the Garhwal Himalaya. Alongside the author, scale the steep craggy mountains and bathe in crystal clear pools; breathe in the scented foothills of the Himalaya and their carpets of peonies, roses, rhododendrons and gentian. Experience 'the keen, biting air of the heights and the soft, scented air of the valleys'. Climber and adventurer Smythe journeys through the Himalaya's Byundar Pass, climbs the Mana Peak, descends into the Byundar Valley, and comes terrifyingly close to an encounter with The Abominable Snowman. The Valley of Flowers is a pleasurable escape for any climber, walker, mountain lover or gardener, or indeed anyone who needs reminding of the beauty and serenity of the natural world.

Download or read book Among Flowers written by Jamaica Kincaid and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-06-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this delightful hybrid of a book—part memoir and part travel journal—the bestselling author takes us deep into the mountains of Nepal with a trio of botanist friends in search of native Himalayan plants that will grow in her Vermont garden. Alighting from a plane in the dramatic Annapurna Valley, the ominous signs of Nepal's Maoist guerrillas are all around—an alarming presence that accompanies the travelers throughout their trek. Undaunted, the group sets off into the mountains with Sherpas and bearers, entering an exotic world of spectacular landscapes, vertiginous slopes, isolated villages, herds of yaks, and giant rhododendron, thirty feet tall. The landscape and flora and so much else of what Kincaid finds in the Himalaya—including fruit bats, colorful Buddhist prayer flags, and the hated leeches that plague much of the trip—are new to her, and she approaches it all with an acute sense of wonder and a deft eye for detail. In beautiful, introspective prose, Kincaid intertwines the harrowing Maoist encounters with exciting botanical discoveries, fascinating daily details, and lyrical musings on gardens, nature, home, and family. From the Trade Paperback edition.
