Kerala has been termed 'God's own country' in recent years. Its landscape and waterways are quite magnificent. However, little has been seen of its masterpieces of temple architecture. This book attempts to capture the style and design of these timber building and also illustrate the quality of space around them. Indian temples are to be seen with their surroundings in unity with the sky and the low-lying landscape or with the sky and the hills around. Architecture of the past in India attempts to create an experience with a sense of longing-something to fill the void within. The masters of design in an earlier era were concerned with the balance of a building and how it could please the eye. Glimpses of Architecture in Kerala is a beginning in trying to examine these intentions.
