Rashtrapati Bhavan, formerly Government or Viceroy’s House, is today the official residence of the President of India. In Dome Over India, Aman Nath provides a fresh interpretation of the legacy of its controversial architect, Edwin Landseer Lutyens.With a mix of history, anecdote, and architectural analysis, he takes the reader on a tour of a ‘palace’ larger than Versailles, revealing the imposing structure as never before. Richly illustrated, this book will be an exhilarating experience for anyone interested in history, architecture, and interiors.
Aman Nath has a Masters degree in history. Engaged in the restoration of historical properties now run as the heritage chain of Neemrana ‘non-hotel’ Hotels, Nath has also been actively involved with India’s contemporary art since the 1970s. He is the author of several books including Jaipur, The Last Destination, Horizons: The Tata-India Century and Jodhpur’s Umaid Bhawan.
