The Colours of Southern India
Barbara Lloyd
|
Far away from the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort and other tourist destinations of the north lies another India: its lush and beautiful Southern States.
In Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Goa, brilliant colour is the natural result of a hot climate and fertile landscape, but is also deeply symbolic in what is one of the world’s most spiritual countries. Reminders of Vishnu, Lakshmi and Hanuman can be found in the blue of saris, the red of hot chillies and the vibrant green of rice fields.
For anyone fortunate enough to have visited this region, The Colours of Southern India will evoke powerful memories of a magical land; while those who have thought about travelling there will find this book an inspiration.
