Features: This book showcases the unique aspects of India through its vibrant colors and patterns. Large blocks of blue turn a city into a blue ocean, originally linked to the mythological story of Shiva's blue throat; ubiquitous patterns, found on walls and floors, are all created by women; the bold colors of saris envelop the graceful figures of Indian women; the fiery red chili peppers evoke the tempting flavors of Indian cuisine, complemented by fresh local fruits and vegetables in the market. While displaying the charm of India, the book also focuses on revealing the secrets, stories behind the patterns and colors. India presents a unique face, and also narrates its long history and complex ethnic culture.
