Close-up, black and white photo of a Hindu Temple's ornate, white Italian marble carvings, done by hand, featuring dancing Indian religious figures, elephants, horses, and goddesses (I think?). The high plinth's multiple horizontal friezes is a common feature in Indo-Aryan architecture. The bottom layers typically depict processions of elephants, followed by rows of horses, and higher levels featuring dancers, musicians, and mythical figures.

Photo of reportedly the largest Hindu temple in Texas, the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (temple). It is an elaborate, Hindu temple built by hand out of 33,000 pieces of expensive and interconnected Italian marble and limestone pieces that were hand carved in India by more than 3,000 artisans, then shipped in individual pieces to Houston, driven to Stafford, then reassembled painstakingly over the course of 2.5 yrs, piece by interlocking piece without ever using any steel or metal to join the 33,000+ parts! The temple is 73 ft tall, 11500 sq ft in size, and elaborately decorated with carvings. The edifice has 3 tall central towers that tower over lots of mini cupolas. Two additional turrets or towers stand at the far corners of the front edifice. Rows of steps lead to the interior. In the photo, two people stand there and in front of them is a long reflective pool. The sky is electric blue but streaked with thick white clouds.

Photo of the ornate, carved marble entrance to a Hindu Temple in Texas. The columned portico or front entrance consists of frieze work that is hand-carved out of Italian marble and features goddesses and other Hindu religious motifs. You can see the back of a man in a dark blue shirt walking near the glass doors in the background. In the foreground is a young boy wearing a long Indian tunic in electric turquoise over white jeans. He matches the building as well as the sky overhead which is one of the main features of the photo as it is an electric blue sky filled with a swirl of silver white, like a stairway almost, of clouds rising up and high into the sky.

Silent Arches: The Gilded Decay "A surreal sunrise unveils the forgotten grandeur of Agra’s ruins." Amid the foggy morning haze of Agra, the fragmented arches of the Shahi Hammam emerge as both remnants of history and surreal art forms. Gilded patterns, reminiscent of intricate jewelry, shimmer faintly on the decayed stone surfaces, catching the warm light of sunrise. The interplay between the soft golden glow and curling tendrils of mist transforms the ruins into a hauntingly beautiful tableau. Cracks and erosion weave together with ethereal light, evoking a dreamlike narrative of time’s passage and enduring elegance. The decayed grandeur stands as a silent witness to centuries gone by, blending opulence with fragility in this surreal composition.

Pero también se está haciendo un uso público de estos espacios. Hay numerosos diseñadores y arquitectos que han decidido reformarlos y utilizarlos como espacios de cultura, galería de arte o simplemente como labor de recuperación y conservación del patrimonio indio.

The Royal Pavilion (also known as the Brighton Pavilion) and surrounding gardens is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811, and King George IV in 1820. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance, with its domes and minarets, is the work of the architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815. George IV's successors William IV and Victoria also used the Pavilion, but Queen Victoria decided that Osborne House should be the royal seaside retreat, and the Pavilion was sold to the city of Brighton in 1850

The Modern Architecture Discourse of Design (1957–1988) through a Postcolonial Lens
This research documents how the Indian magazine Design (1957–88), along with magazines like Marg, The Indian Architect, Illustrated Weekly, Femina, and Filmfare, formalized institutions of discourse in Nehruvian modern India. Design emerged as a ‘transnational’1 agent that challenged the idea of imitating the West as a way of bringing Western modernism to India. Instead, it … Continue reading The Modern Architecture Discourse of Design (1957–1988) through a Postcolonial Lens
