"In Landscapes in India, Amita Sinha shows that landscapes can be read like languages, as arrangements of symbols that reveal cultural values. South Asian landscapes - rich with formalized symbols, from the Cosmic Tree in Buddhist landscapes to cities patterned on mandalas - offer a training ground for reading landscapes everywhere."--Jacket.
