Description

Gorgeously jaw-dropping, India has been beautifully redesigned with 32 additional pages of glorious photos shot by Eric Meola since India used to be first published.

This revised and expanded version of Eric Meola’s 2008 India takes the reader on a journey through Mumbai, Rajasthan, Agra, Dungarpur, along desert roads, to the Ganges water’s edge, including spectacular ruins, the Taj Mahal, and the Festival of Elephants, capturing the spectacle and vibrant colors of these ancient regions.

INDIA is abruptly becoming some of the pre-eminent leaders of the twenty-first century. For more than a decade, Eric Meola has returned again and again to India, photographing the people, temples, landscapes, architecture, celebrations, and art of this uniquely exuberant and incredibly diverse country. Meola’s journeys took him from the Himalayas and monasteries within the North to the temples of Tamil Nadu within the South, from the color and pageantry of Rajasthan within the West to the tea plantations of Darjeeling within the East. Over 200 photographs (edited from more than 25,000 images) will fill this beautifully printed, large-format book. The pictures can be accompanied by dozens of essays, stories, and poems by up to date and classical Indian writers.
