Art & Architecture

Nepal's artistic traditions — Newari wood carving, paubha and thangka painting, Licchavi stone sculpture, Malla-era metalwork — are among the finest in Asia, and largely unknown outside specialist circles. Pilgrims Book House carries the definitive art-historical studies, coffee-table pictorials, practical manuals on iconography, and surveys of Himalayan, Tibetan, Indian and Buddhist art history. Also architecture: temple design, Newari vernacular building, sacred space in Hinduism and Buddhism, and contemporary Nepali architecture.
